Great info I've found on this forum, looking for a great sensitive after shave cream, I have such trouble with acne and dry skin at the same time. It's a nightmare. Still hoping for a miracle cream.
I wash my face with the Aveeno salicylic acid cleanser (pretty gentle) and then moisturize with Cremo. If I'm having a more troublesome week, I use an astringent (I find that those stridex pads are fine) before the moisturizer. I don't have terribly problematic skin, so we might not be in the same boat, but it seems to work reasonably well as a preventative regimen.
