so, i really don't like wearing make-up daily (i don't like how foundation feels on my skin, except for one brand of BB cream for special occasions and that's it), but i wear nail polish almost every day and a lip product every day, and i occasionally wear eye make-up if i feel like it. i'm more concerned about having skin that looks great without make-up. except, my skin is acne-prone, so it's nightmare trying to achieve the dream.
i was wondering: do i really need powder? i understand that if you have acne-prone skin, you're not supposed to use pressed powder, only loose powder. but apart from [aesthetically] mattifying your skin, what else does it do for you?
i'm guessing that although on one hand it may help absorb oil, it may also clog pores?
also, FYI, this is my current skin care regimen:
none of these companies have powder in their acne lines/oily skin lines. is it because it's unnecessary? thank you.

- Biotherm Biopur Pore Reducer Gentle Purifying Gel (but i plan on replacing that with the more affordable The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash)
- Biotherm S.O.S. Normalizer Normalising Exfoliating Lotion (i'm still trying to figure out whether i need Cure Natural Aqua Gel in addition)
- Biotherm S.O.S. Normalizer Normalising Moisturising Care (i also plan on replacing this with Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer because it's better priced)
- Orlane Anagenèse 25+ First Time Fighting Eye Contour (as soon as i've finished up The Body Shop's Wise Woman Eye Cream)
- whatever lip balm i have (most of the time contains SPF)
