To expand your search, hormonal acne combined with oily skin usually means androgens are driving sebum production, so the most targeted approach beyond topical products is looking into ingredients like zinc and spearmint that work on that hormonal pathway, and for the oiliness itself niacinamide at around 5 to 10% used consistently over a few weeks genuinely does regulate sebum production rather than just mattifying temporarily the way most oil control products do.

That tracks actually because a lot of the glow recipe lineup leans heavily on humectants and fruit extracts that work really well for dry or dehydrated skin but can feel like too much for already oily skin, so for oily and acne prone skin you'd generally do better with a toner that has BHA like salicylic acid in it since it gets into the pore lining and helps with both congestion and oil control at the same time.

One thing worth knowing before you go all in on oil free everything is that oily skin often still needs a lightweight moisturizer because skipping it can actually signal your skin to produce even more oil to compensate, so the goal is really balancing sebum rather than stripping it, and ingredients like niacinamide and zinc have decent evidence behind them for actually regulating oil production over time rather than just mattifying temporarily.

The Murad clarifying serum has been helpful with clearing up breakouts on my cheeks. But keep in mind there are different types of acne breakouts and causes. You need to identify the types of breakouts to help determine the best course of action.

Primers aren't going to do anything that a good, long-wearing matte (or natural matte) foundation won't. Use a replenishing moisturizer at night, a lightweight non-waterproof spf and hydrating essence (or equivalent) in the morning, and just make sure to set everything with powder and setting spray, and use a mattifying silica powder at the end in the tzone.
