For instance, hand skin doesn’t, but face skin is very prone to it.

What seems like all the same skin, namely yours, is patches of variants of the same concept “skin”. For example, only the soles of your feet and hands can get really callous. Then you can only sweat profoundly in some places. Some places grow hair (obviously two different kinds of it). The list goes on and on. One of these differences seems to be that some patches are more prone to “acne” than others. Actually, it’s obviously only some causes of acne. And to my humble knowledge, about 90% of cases of actual acne can be attributed to puberty. So the question is hedged in even more further.
A frequent consequence of chlorine poisoning is acne in the spots affected. Often, chlorine is accidentally inhaled as a gas, then it causes acne basically everywhere. Sometimes, somebody is poisoned through their skin, and they’d only get acne where they touched the poison.
With tongue in cheek, I’d suspect some evo-devo thing going on. Like humans being fertile, but unattractive gaining the advantage of not having kids at a certain sensitive age. So, when everybody else was wiped out by a tsunami while having one of these gangbangs on the beach, it was only the teenagers sulking in the woods who survived to start a new tribe. Or something.
Face skin is washed less frequently, so there is more build up of dirt and oils which causes clogged pores. Face skin also has more sebaceous glands which produce oils. The combination of these two things increases the likelihood of acne breakouts on the face.
