I don't have dry skin so I feel like I can't comment on that but! As far as the acne goes, I've started double cleansing on days that I wear make up (even light make up days) and it's really made all the difference. I'm now traveling and didn't bring my oil cleanswer with me and have broken out quite a bit. 

I think if you stick to the basic tenents of korean skincare you should do well.

1. double cleanse (preferably second cleanse should be some sort of gentle exfoliation, I use TATCHA - The Deep Cleanse Exfoliating Cleanserand oil cleanser.

2. Toner (I have used and liked LANEIGE - Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizerand  SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion Toner 5.4 oz

3. Essence -- I frequently omit this

4. Moisturizer 

Lastly, the best thing would be to see a dermatologist and get a prescription for a retinoid. Over the counter Differin also is helpful!

Good luck!
