Hi! ok so I use the Oxy face wash and benzoyl peroxide treatment every other day, and a Burt's bees face wash and the benzoyl treatment on the other days.
I have been getting zits all over my face!! I do not have severe or even moderate acne, but I do have a lot of small pimples almost everywhere.
they are getting better, but school starts in a week and. y skin is incredibly dry and flakey around he nose and chin area, and my makeup always flakes off! whenever I try to always apply moisturizer after I wash my face and before I put on makeup, I find that it makes the treatment that I use not be as effective.
the mouisturizer I use is the so simply amazing by Clinique.

sorry for how long this post is lol I just need some answers!!

Since you're using benzoyl peroxide you might want to use a sunblock (like the nuetrogina dry touch sunblock for the face) because benzoyl dries out the pimple, plus the skin around it.
And maybe the face washes you're using are to harsh for your skin? I've never used them so I have no experience with it sorry :/ but I hope the sunblock helps the dryness issue! :)

Changing your skin care routine everyday won't help:)

This week just let your skin breath. Try not to put on makeup but keep using the creams for your face

Oxy is so harsh on your skin, so much alcohol and chemicals inside it's probably what's drying out your skin! I would just use the burts bees face wash, benzoyl peroxide on your spots and a moisturizer with sunscreen!

Also you can exfoliate with natural ingredients to help prevent our makeup from flaking off. I would stop wearing makeup until school starts so you can focus on clearing up your skin.

When your washing your face with oxy facewash dab your towel to dry your face. This can help with the dryness
