Acne and face washing

Okay ladies I need some insight. I can say I was fairly blessed with decent skin that had very few breakouts but located mostly on my chin. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin though so it needs lots of moisture! TBH for the longest time I went without washing my face with any soaps and products every night and my skin was virtually acne free the only problem I was having was my face was extremely dry and patchy all of the time. So I started washing my face and working on a routine every night and using a moisturizer before bed time. Now my skin isn’t dry any more (thank goodness!) but, it is now breaking out worse than it ever has before and in areas that I have never broke out in before!! I don’t know what to do now to help it and I don’t want to go back to not washing it because then it will get dried out again! How do I find a balance between reducing the acne and keeping it hydrated!?

What products or tips have worked for you all!? I am really in need of help with this!! 🙏🏼 Thank you thank you!
