My skin has gotten pretty bad... Huge breakouts! :( plus all my favorite foundations are not my favorite anymore. They bring out dry patches which I never really had before. My tzone gets super oily. My skin is not as smooth and hydrated as it used to be. I moisturizer mornings and night. I've been getting so many breakouts too even on my chest (which I NEVER had before)! I honestly don't know what to try. I don't like my skin with or without makeup. It's a mess. I need help with the dry patches and my acne! Please help ladies!

I kind of had a similar problem, my skin is a little better now. This is what I've been doing, it will be long but I hope it helps a little and ultimately I would suggest you to go see a dermatologist.
My skin is sensitive, oily tzone, dry patches and was starting to break out. I feel like I was using too many products and they were Irritating and drying up my face. Now I only wash my face with water in the morning, wash cloth and occasionally cetaphil, I haven't found the perfect moisturizer yet, but ponds for dry skin really helps with my patches. At night I only use tarte's maracuja oil (it helps with the redness) I use witch hazel after I wash my face and before the moisturizer (calms my skin if that makes any sense) I am definitely not breaking out anymore, only a few blemishes once a month now lol ðŸ˜‰

I'm thinking the products your using are not doing you well no more maybe due to weather change or something else. I would suggest switching everything, use a scrub with salicylic for acne drink lots lots lots of water. this happened to me too I switched out everything from wash to scrub, moisturizer, toner, foundation everything. and well your foundations are not going to look good because your skin is not good right now. perfect canvas leads to perfect application, let's restore that canvas first :)

Yea I have been using cetaphil cream as a moisturizer like forever. And I have been changing my cleanser between cetaphil daily cleanser and murad clarifying cleanser and for toner I use this.

Brandy I have the Mia 2 but I stopped using it about 2 months ago because I need to replace the brush head. But I couldn't really tell a difference honestly. But I'm getting the brush head today and hopefully that can help me.

I'm in the same boat because I used a clarisonic. :( I know everyone loves them but it definitely did not work for me. I tried two different brush heads and I used it for two months... It's been about two months since then and I'm STILL trying to clear my skin up. What's working really well for me right now is the body shops tea tree oil blemish fade, it's a night treatment and it's helping me so much. I'll probably purchase more of the line!

Nina S. I got it from the Vitamine Shop.

Lela B. I've been using the cetaphil about 2 months.
I didn't start breaking out this bad until like 3 weeks ago so it's not my clarisonic. I haven't used it.

Michelle C. I've been looking at Clinique to get a cleanser or the 3 step acne treatment.

And thanks girls for the advice. I'm hoping to clear my face up soon. :(
