[Skin concerns] Mid-40s, battling acne for, oh, 30+ years and now aging and poor texture ... and desert living. I need help!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Photo: http://imgur.com/uVaz3zJ (I have no idea if I've done that properly. This is my first post.)I've got quite possibly the most extensive anti-acne arsenal on the planet but I'm old now and things that used to help my skin (benzoyl peroxide and to a much lesser extent, retinoids) now leave me dry and dehydrated with horrible texture (large pores, hyperpigmentation). AHAs kind of work, too, but I can't find the right balance between proper exfoliation and too much exfoliation. If I go too heavy on the moisturizer, I get breakouts, too little (ex: gels) I get dehydration. Most recent regimen: Tazorac cream .05% about twice a week, Nivea cream to moisturize (yeah, I know it's heavy.) Cleanse with Pond's cold cream in the PM and micellar water in the AM.Paula's Choice products all break me out ... every. single. one.Have done salon peels with little success but I have the means to pay for others.Very sad and frustrated and would appreciate any help. I'm not even comfortable being in front of my man makeup free at this point ... and that's sad!
