Dry skin to oily skin.

Freshman year I use to have such dry skin, like really really dry; my skin would be so dry that it would flake. Now that I'm a junior my skin is so oily I can NEVER have a matte face. I have an oil control moisturizer, I use a primer that is suppose to help make your makeup matte. I've used the Maybelline dream matte mouse. I've tried so many things to help keep my makeup stay matte.
I just want to know why my skin went from being super dry to super oily ):

And also can you girlies recommend products to me for oily, sensitive, acne prone skin?
I would very much prefer drug store but high end is okay too. (:

Yeah I've had a couple things from the dermatologist. I've gotten
RetinA cream honestly I really disliked it..
And I've gotten clindamycin phosphate lotion that didn't help either. And I got some pills not sure what they're called but nothing helped ):

The entire body shop tea tree line is good for acne/oily skin. The seaweed pore-cleansing facial exfoliatior from them is a lifsaver, as is their seaweed line for a LOT of oil. I also use their seaweed ionic clay mask in my t-zone once a week and it drains all the gunk and limits oil production =) for oily skin though, I would look into using rose water as a toner and investing in a good primer, it makes all the difference in the world! dream matte mousse actually has oil in it, which defies the point so I would switch your foundation too. Revlon oily skin foundation is really good for full coverage, or use the loreal bb cream with the rimmel london stay matte pressed powder which keeps you oil-free for like 8 hours =)
