I work as a cleark at a chain drugstore. I know quite a number of good products to use. Of them, Cetaphil is one of the best for your condition. If you're really serious about clearing up acne and treating your dry skin, try proactiv solution. I know you've seen the commercials, but it works. You can usually pick up a small kit for $30 at a local mall. Hope that turns out alright for you.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Have you ever tried Clear.Now? It helps to get rid of acne. That's what I used- worked like a charm. Then, I used an oil-free moisturizer after the acne cleared up. Regular moisturizers have oil so if your pores are already clogged, they'll only make it worse. Clogged pores cause pimples. I know where you can get the products if you need help.

Neutragena makes a good acne defense face lotion. It has everything that you are looking for in a moisturizer. Also, a good one is the Neutragena Advanced Solutions Acne defense system. It has a good face face, an overnight benzoyl peroside treatment, and a SPF 15 daytime lotion. It definately does not dry your face out.

Keep It Quick: Cleanser, Toner, Moisturizer (3 in 1) from AVON. It's awesome, and affordable.

If you want non-medicated, Ponds or Dove... if you want something with a little medication in it that won't dry you out more, try the Clearasil Ultra. I've used all of the above and never broke out with any of them.

clean and clear.
also acne free makes a good zit zapper, & they're gone in 2 days, but it might dry you out.

St.Ives is really good. It makes your face very soft after you use it. Clean and Clear is a good option too.
