So I have relatively oily skin, not really oily but you get the picture.
By the end of school all my acne has dry/flakey skin around it which makes them really noticeable.
How can I fix this? I exfoliate regularly and moisturise regularly too.

Following. I have the same thing, except I know that the flakiness is because of a certain medication I'm on.

Ok even thought you exfoliate and moisturize you should know what ingredients you should put on your face for the oily/flakey skin. Oats is good for the dryness. So try some of that (My opinion) :)

Do you moisturize every day and use a primer? I have super oily skin and I know what you mean. The garnier moisturizer for oily skin is great and it stops the oilyness. A primer should also help because it like a base for your makeup and it will stay on all day without drying or getting oily.

Same with me, I just exfoliate though and it seems to help a lot. Uhmm but you could try skipping powder and just blot throughout the day. And if you're using an oil-free moisturizer, well stop. I find those tend to just evaporate and then my skin gets oily. The ones with oils have it for a reason. The oil locks in the moisture and if it's locked in, your skin is moisturized and won't feel the need to produce so much oil
