Hey love! You’re partially right—acne can be caused by stress. However, it’s way more complex. If acne is a corncern for you, I heavily recommend seeing a doctor. They’ll be able to advise you on the best course of action! Acne can be caused by various factors: excess sebum production, oil and dead skin cells clogging the hair follicule, inflammation, and bacteria are some common causes! All of these occur for many different reasons; stress, hormones, specific medications, diet, and even a lack of sleep could be the cause. Now, in order to treat acne effectively, you need to recognize and target the root cause. Specific products quite litterally will do nothing in specific situations regarding acne. For example, benzoyl peroxide is a topical treatment that helps kill acne-causing bacteria. So, using BP when your acne isn’t caused by bacteria will do nothing. 
This is why it's extremely important to speak to a doctor. A professional that has access to your health history will be able to give you suitable treatment reccomendations. 

You should see your general practitioner for your concerns about your acne. They might direct you to a couple of over-the-counter products for first-line treatment options.

If those products don't work for you, they can then either refer you to a dermatologist or give you a prescription for topical or even oral products. They'll look at what kind of acne you have to determine the most suitable product. Just keep in mind that not all treatments may be covered. I believe that tretinoin is covered if it's used for acne here in Canada, but it'll always vary. 

Good luck! Hopefully this helped ❤️ P.S. I think acne could be caused by love because extreme emotions can cause temporary hormone fluctuations, lol.
