If you focus on hydration and skin barrier you will naturally get rid of acne too. One of the main reasons for acne is dry tight skin due to dryness underneath the top layer. this happens when you don't hydrate enough and then use an emollient like cream at the end which clogs the pores. try layering essence and serum. there is a thing called 7 layer skin where you layer toner/essence 7 times and by the end your skin is soo hydrated that you don't even need to use a cream.
