I have the same problem and I went to a dermatologist. The extra dry skin in our situation is call Serebia. They gave me a facewash and lotion to use on a daily basis. CeraVe. You might be able to get this at a drug store or at walmart. If you can find it let me know and if you cant let me know so I can help you.

You say you have acne prone and dry skin, but that your moisturizer is oil-free and shouldn't be giving you grief. Maybe the problem you're having is related to the type of facial cleanser you're using. If you are using a cleanser with harsher acne fighting ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, or a scrub with fine little granules meant to "exfoliate" your skin (like Clean & Clear's "micro-scrubbers"), this could be why its freaking out. Extreme irritation. I don't know how old you are, but my skin started changing when I was about 18. I couldn't use the harsher acne products like Clearasil, Oxy, or even Neutrogena. Suddenly ( and it did feel like it happened suddenly), I had adult skin and had to start using gentler products, like Aveeno, Clinique, and Cetaphil. Crappily, they're more expensive, but of course worth it. So try using less abrasive cleansers, even beware of some make-up remover wipes that can be drying.
PS> Try this product also: Merle Norman "Miracol". Its a liquid (that calls itself a lotion) you brush on your face (avoiding your eyes, of course) and let sit for about 10 minutes. It burns a little when you put it on, and you'll find yourself thinking: "Hmm, how can it be moisturizing my face when it feels like its on fire?" but it does. Anyway, you leave it on for about 10-20 minutes(don't try to talk or anything), it dries up, and you rinse it off. I don't know how, but in about 2 or 3 days, it just solves every problem with your face, dryness, oiliness, acne. You don't have to use it all the time, thats how well it worked for me, and I have combo skin like yours. Its about $15 and lasts forever. Get the kind with the brush applicator.
Peace to your face,

I've found that Olay's moisturizers work really well. Try Olay Complete Defense SPF 30 Daily UV Moisturizer. It's about 13 bucks. Olay products tend to be a little more expensive than regular facial products. Moisturizers with sunblock are great for your skin, especially since its summer time, and you're out and about all of the time, so it protects your skin while moisturizing it.
Hope I helped!

Well, this may seem silly, but when i had that problem I used a dove night lotion(even when it was in the morning, it doesnt matter). It is for making your skin more radiat, but it also works to nursish it! hope this helps! ]
