I have no idea what my skin is doing right now, one minute it will be dry and flakey, and the next minute it will be so oily that it makes my fingers wet when I touch my face (particularly on my nose) I also have quite bad acne on my forehead and chin, and I've been using quinoderm for this, but I know quinoderm isn't responsible for the dryness as I was very combination-y before using that. Are there any ways I could balance it out without effecting my acne or acne treatment?

I had a similar issue with my skin too. I also suffer from acne pretty bad acne but I keep it clear now with proactive. The only way you can control your skin is work out what the cause of the oiliness and dryness is, or at least possible causes. It could be any number if things; hones, di, ercise, ther products you use on your skin ( consider your moisturiser) , workplace, water consumption, stress, nerves. The skin becoming really oily is also a way for it too restore moisture , a lot of people who scrub their skin continuously in hope of getting clear skin will generally find that their acne could get worse because it's their skins way of trying to restore moisture to that area. I would personally look at a good moisturiser and maybe if that doesn't work, a type of pimple treatment cream that won't dry your skin out but keeps away the oil. Hope that helps.:)
