Skin condition: Please see a dermatologist. Your family doc can refer you. Please avoid all skin products containing alcohol because it will dry the skin. Cosmetics can contain lead and other toxins. Ask doc about safest cosmetics. Peace and good health.

Start over counter : Try over the counter facial cleansers with Vitamin A (topical retinoids). If not effective a short course of antibiotics (doxycycline) would be best choice.
