Routine use of a chemical exfoliant is the best way to regulate your skin. Adequate sun protection is just as important.

For acne/pore issues, a BHA product will work wonders. Paula's Choice makes some of the best, but somebody here recently made me aware that you can find Cosrx products on Amazon, and I know their BHA liquid is solid. It uses betaine salicylate, which is essentially the fatty acid form of salicylic acid. Some of their other products contain a lot of alcohol, ignore those.

I would suggest quitting Proactiv, from my experience it's very drying and irritating to the skin. My recommendations would be the Origins Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash (gentle but effective, also won't make you any drier), Fresh Rose Water Toner (again it's gentle but also hydrating), and IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream (a little goes a long way and it's very hydrating and moisturizing). For a spot treatment try the Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Gel, since you can use it as a spot treatment you can apply it just over your breakouts to dry them out/clear them up so you're not over drying the rest of your skin.

I have very very VERY dry skin, like flaking off my face dry, so nothing I have ever found really doesn't dry out my skin without moisturizing like hell before & after. but I alternate between mary kay's botanical cleanser & clean n clear morning burst.

Right now I'm using proactiv but in the past I've use lush products, the body shop products, and Simple products. I found that Simple products helped me the most.
