So when I do a whole skincare routine (cleanser, serum, then moisturizer) my skin breaks out. But if I only wash my face and put nothing else on it, even no moisturizer, it’s clear….why?

it's probably a mix of reasons, specifically, the type of skin you have (ie- oily, dry, combo) and the ingredients and reactions of those ingredients in the products you use

I know sometimes after doing things like that the skin can “purge” meaning it’s pushing out all the bad stuff (hence making you break out), but your face might also not be used to it. Slowly incorporate your skincare until your skin can handle it. Also too much skincare can be bad so don’t be putting too many serums at once since they are acids at the end of the day. Do what works for you (i just cleanse, moisturize, and sunscreen and I have clear skin)

R u sure ur only using those 3 and nothing else? Ur skin barrier could be sensitive and get stripped off from your products, so when u put nothing on ur skin barrier heals and face clears up
