Yes you can have dry skin and acne. When your skin is dry it tries to over compensate by producing more oil which clog pores. I don't think any skin type is immune to acne. I can't really recommend a certain product but try a rich moisturiser that is gel based and for sensetive skin. Good luck!

You can't have acne and dry skin! Dry skin means your skin doesn't produce enough oil and acne means your skin produces too much oil. You have acne and have Dehydrated skin NOT dry skin. Try using a masque, drinking water and making sure you're using a good moisturizer for dehydration without too much oil for the acne.

Janet sorry to burst ur bubble but i do not know why prople associate acne with oil. Yes overproduction of oil can cause clogging but bacteria and dirt is also associated with acne. I have super dry skin no oil with acne and pimples.
