Well, this stinks, is your skin dry all over, and oily in the t-zone? Here are some suggestions: cleansers should be sensitive skin cleansers, like the dove cleansers, or Neutrogena sensitive skin bar. You should also get benzoyl peroxide for sensitive skin, a lower dosage, and spot apply only. For moisturizer, cetaphil is recommended, but I find it really heavy, I use Olay Sensitive Skin formula, and I have oily skin and it is just right.

Regarding getttnig your skin clear, you don't say how old you are, but there is a hormonal birthcontrol pill, Yasmin, that may work magic on you. You might want to give it a try.
