Acne: For dry skin use eucerine cream and for acne use stridex pad in morning and 10% benzoil peroxide at night. If acne is severe or cystic , please see dermatologist. Thanks.

See a dermatologist: Stridex ; 10% BP are drying. There are numerous products to rub on dry skin. You may like one of those including salycilic acid. Prescription spironolactone will help you. Some birth control pills are better than others for acne.

Combination skin: can be tricky to address. Most acne products are exceptionally drying. An appropriate regimen for this situation is best managed by a dermatologist.
