I need to grasp the concept of more than 4 hours sleep a night … clearing your skin just takes a lot of common sense like the things you have mentioned.

Here is the routine you should try. It works great!

Cleanser – Papaya Foaming Cleanser
Acne Treatment – Medicated Acne Spot Treatment (very strong so only use it on the spots).
Moisturizer – Hydrating Creme Concentrate (oil, petroleum, alcohol free).

The papaya cleanser will gently and naturally dissolve dead skin, oils and dirt from you skin and leave a "clean slate" to start with.

Put the Medicated Spot Treatment on your acne spots before you go to bed abs the spot will be gone by morning. The best part is it only dries out the spot and not your whole face.

The Hydrating Creme Concentrate will not just moisturize it will hydrate and heal your dry skin. It will not just cover up the dryness with mineral oils and petroleum jelly like conventional moisturizers.

You need a gentle cleanser on your face so you don't irritate it while washing. The stuff you are using is not that great — it leaves a yucky film on your face. My suggestions are Spectrogel or Cetaphil. I used to have problem skin myself, and honestly Cetaphil is the best thing to use. They also carry a moisturizer that is non-greasy. Don't get the face wash or the moisturizer in the oily skin variety though, just get the normal ones. Then, when you go to bed at night use something like Panoxyl (spelling?) that has a 5% benzol peroxide content.

Most of the other so called "acne products" out there do not actually help clear up your face. If the cetaphil+benzol peroxide combo does not help at all (and you must follow this routine every day for at least 3-4 weeks before you decide if it's working), then you should see a dermatologist. They might perscribe an oral medication for you or a stronger benzol peroxide.

yeah wash your face once or switch to a higher quality cleanser they wont dry your face out. if youre only washing your face once do it in the morning so you can get all of the bacteria that have been sitting there all night off.

Skincare tips for sensitive, acne-prone skin?
Right now I wash my face twice every day – once in the morning, and once in the evening. I use the Clearasil foaming anti-acne cleanser, and then moisturize with Aveeno Positively Radiant Face Lotion.

Acne break-outs on my forehead are minimal, maybe one or two small pimples every month. But the skin around my mouth and lower cheeks get VERY dry and sometimes flaky, especially with the winter weather.

I want to switch to a heavier moisturizer or one of those "gentle" cleansers, but I'm afraid that I'll get more break-outs with those. What should I do? (wash my face ONCE a day instead of twice, maybe?)
