Grapefruit is such a cleansing, fresh oil! An excellent choice for acne.
One word of caution when it comes to grapefruit is that it is a citrus oil, which means that it can be photosensitive. For this reason you should not apply grapefruit to the skin for 9-12 hours before going out into the sun. So definitely a better oil to use at night before bed.

As with grapefruit, be sure not to apply bergamot for 9-12 hours before going out into the sun. Otherwise you might end up with a pretty nasty sunburn.
