I think that your best option is to be evaluated by a Dermatologist, who are skin specialist%26#039;s. He/she can evaluate and/or treat you with prescription medications that can greatly reduce your condition. I realize that you don%26#039;t have the money for this but, why waste your money on over-the-counter products that are not working. Most Doc%26#039;s offices allow a payment plan based on your income etc. And, frequently, the Doc will have prescription %26quot; free samples%26quot; of medicine that can help you. At least, have a consultation with a Dermatologist. I know this isn%26#039;t the answer that you were looking for but, unfortunately, based on your skin condition, it%26#039;s the best option. Do you have a Primary Care Doc that can at least try some options ?? I hope that this helped some and Good Luck.|||i too have really sensitive skin and bad acne (well had bad acne) what i use is Neutrogena 8 hour oil free protection face wash and lotion. it actually works really well and it seems to be the only thing i dont react to. plus the lotion works great and i can wear my make up over it and everything. its not too oily or anything. good luck!!|||For sensitive skin use cetaphil facial cleanser (it%26#039;s not a soap so it won%26#039;t dry out your skin) and moisturize with Eucerin Facial SPF 15 lotion (it%26#039;s for sensitive skin, it%26#039;s light so it won%26#039;t cause breakouts).

ALso avoid processed sugars.


Cleansing Wise: I like Dove face washes because they are gentle and leave your skin feeling moist, wash face in shower so that your face gets a little moisture after, and only wash once a day or your skin will really dry out. If your body skin is dry and irritated take a few days off from soap, it%26#039;s good to give your skin a break, I%26#039;d say like 1-2 weeks so all your natural body oils resotre. Just try that for now and see how it goes, good luck.


Oh and just try organic lotions made with ingrediants you recognize maybe you are allergic to one of the chemicals in other lotions|||Have a look at the forums at www.acne.org as you will find many different solutions there to approaching your acne treatment. Aqueous cream can help with the dryness and should work on most even sensitive skin; it%26#039;s also very cheap! Make sure the brand you buy of aqueous cream does not have lanolin in.

If you have very dry and scaly skin, your doctor may recommend you use an all-natural cream that contains natural oils that gives soothing and glowing results.





In a more serious skin disease, such as ichthyosis or psoriasis, your doctor may prescribe prescription creams and ointments or other treatments in addition to home care.





Dry skin leads to dermatitis, which causes red, itchy skin. In these cases, treatment may include lotions with natural-oil ingredients. If your skin cracks open, your doctor may prescribe wet dressings with mildly astringent properties to contract your skin and reduce secretions and prevent infection.

Olay quench therapy lotion also works well for dry skin and it doesn%26#039;t block pores. you may want to try Olay%26#039;s deep cleansing mousse for the face and then slather on a thick lotion or cream that doesn%26#039;t block the pores to help with the acne. it should say on the bottle of the lotion that it doesn%26#039;t block pores.
