Ok ladies, I need some suggestions and/or advice...my skin is dry but it's also acne prone. And it feels like everything that is made for acne prone skin is oil free or made for oily skin and it drys me out so bad. I'm just looking for any recommendation for anything skin care (moisturizer, face wash, toner etc) and even any makeup recommendations as well! Things that help with acne but are suited for dry skin. Thank you :)

Okay I have like the same exact skin my skin is dry especially since it's colder and I have really bad acne. I do try to maintain my acne by using St. ives apricot scrub. that will take care of the acne I use it everyday. Then I use a moisturizer from the body shop or I just use whatever facial moisturizer I can find that won't clog my pores.

I like Cetaphil moisturizer and face wash. It hasn't made me breakout. I think it's non comedogenic. My skin is definitely acne prone and dry in some areas and oily in other. I like the Proactiv toner. It doesn't cause dryness at all. I think you do have to use products with either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide for acne though and they can be drying. When I use these products I just use a strong oil free non comedogenic moisturizer to counter it.
