How do I get rid from acne and make my skin healthy glow?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been experiencing quite a bit of acne on my skin. I thought it might be due to dehydration caused by my diet and also my skin appears discolored and showing signs of acne, whiteheads, blackheads, and dryness. I have ordered some skincare products, but they do not seem to be making a difference, and I am confused about which products would be best for me to stick with. Currently, I am using the following products such as Niacinamide serum, Glycolic acid, Hyaluronic acid. My concern is which products I should use to clear up my acne and blemishes and make my skin plump and radiant. I used a simple moisturizer before, which seemed to worsen my acne, so I am not using any moisturizer now and only using serum. I also wanted to know if It is okay to use Glycolic acid and Salicylic acid on different days.

Also, which moisturizer can I use with these products that will work well with the serums? Please advise.
