[Routine help] Skin fine in the AM but dry by afternoon (making foundation look patchy and flaky)

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Never posted here before so sorry if this isn't in the right place!I'm looking for help with my routine. I just recently started wearing foundation daily (used to go mostly bare with either just under eye concealer or tinted moisturizer/bb cream). I have the most temperamental skin.. always seems part dry, part oily, and prone to mild breakouts. I've started wearing Tarte amazonian clay foundation and I love it, but unfortunately while it looks wonderful in the morning, it seems like my skin is dry (especially around nose and cheeks) by afternoon and up close my foundation looks patchy and icky. :(So my questions are-I'm currently using Cerave AM facial moisturizing lotion with sunscreen- do I try the Cerave in the tub? I know a lot of people here love it, but I've also heard horror stories about it causing breakouts. If I do decide to try it, how do I spot test? Just pick a spot in my face and use it there for a week?Do I need to wear a primer with my foundation? I have one (Lorac's I'm So Sensitive), but I only really use it if I'm going out at night on the weekends. I'm too lazy to use it for work- do I need to suck it up and use it daily?Any other tips? My current routine is as follows- splash with water in the morning and tone with witch hazel (alcohol free). Moisturize with Cerave AM lotion. Apply makeup. At night, cleanse with OCM (castor, grapeseed & tamanu oil). Tone again with witch hazel. About once a week I use Alpha Hydrox 10% glycolic AHA gel.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty new to skincare so I'm sure I'm missing steps or some tricks :)
