[Routine Help] Skin so dry I cant even splash my face with cold water

Dermatologist told me he could fix my acne and it would give me drier skin or he could give me something for my dry skin that would give me more acne.

27 Male / Florida Humidity

Forehead is perfect.

Rest of face cant even take on a slash of cold water without drying out and flaking.

Moisturizing feels like a bandaid that sits on top of skin and makes me look shiny.

Not moisturizing is incredibly uncomfortable but does lower my active acne.

Current routine is nothing but small dabs of moisturizer in the places it flakes the most immediately after shower.

Please please please recommend me a basic routine for dry skin with active breakouts in a humid climate.
