I have at least 6 new pimples every day and I have to cover it all up with a pile of make-up each morning before work, which of course just makes it far worse.
Awwww N3o... *hug* I know how you feel girl. We are break-out buddies

I just got over one a few days ago.
Regarding the make-up problem, I use this foundation from Almay:
http://www.almay.com/Pg/Main/CatPro...&subnm=Foundation&prd=28609&osubnm=Foundation It contains Salicycic Acid to help with breakouts while covering blemishes

The coverage is pretty decent too, for the price it's good! I believe they sell concealor too with the S. Acid. I will admit, I don't notice that the make-up
helps that much, however it certainly does not make things worse. My breakouts are far less severe since swtiching to this make up.
Also, I don't know of anything specific to help your face at the moment

But here are simple steps I do to keep my face from getting that awful, dry rash.
-I use a B. Perxiode (2.5% ) scrub MOST days, but every few days I swtich to a milder Salicylic Acid wash (that is NOT a scrub) because it is much gentler on the face (at least for me this is true). I find if I use products with B.P. in them everyday, that it dries out my skin.
-Moisterize everyday, even if you are oily! This is probably obvious, but there are a lot of oil-free, light-weight moisterizers out there. Dry skin will just aggitate things (as you know

)
-Don't wash your face more than twice a day! If you have to wash more than that (like if you go to the gym mid-day or something), just use a mild cleanser with no acne-ingriedents to prevent over-drying.
It sounds like the Cetaphil is better choice for you, and I'm glad to hear that things are getting better

... but i just thought I'd post these little tips just in case! ^
I hope everything gets under control soon
