Could the stress hormone, Cortisol, make one more prone to acne breakouts?

I am under stress and my face keeps breaking out more and more and I don't like it. I'm in my 30's for petes sake. I have even used that Proactive stuff and I still break out.

Just wondering if stress is playing a role in my excessive acne as of late
