[Acne] Does tight always mean dehydrated? 26M - I have read the sidebar..improvements, but still struggling :(

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hello - First off, thank you! My skin has improved since discovering this thread, and I've really disliked myself in years past because of my skin, but also still very frustrated..Background: * Type - (IMHO) Very sensitive, dry, tight and oily skin * 26 year old male * Usually 3-4 papules with 5-6 other smaller pimples and general closed comodoes (sp.) and other unwanted conditions * Been on: accutane x2, minocycline x3+, duac, differen, aczone, Clindamycin and everything in between twice * I work in a corporate background, where I am often in a dry building most of the dayCurrent state: I live in a dry state, but I use a humidifier, sleep with aquafor / vaseline on my face every night (both really seem to help), moisturize during the day and don't take long hot showers. I also drink 100+ oz. per day of water / green tea and limit my dairy. Both the green tea and no dairy seem to help. I've stopped going to my derm b/c they always want to put me on medication that really dies my skin out...my face always breaks out when it feels dry and tight. I have had mild improvements in only gently washing my face and treating with: * Hyaluronic Serum * Cerve PM * Spot-treatment (BP)Question: Why is my skin always so tight!?It doesn't look dehydrated, but just always so tight an hour or so after loading on hydrating and moisturizing products. This only started in the last 2-3 years...after my second treatment of accutane. Any possible relationship?Whenever my skin feels really tight, within the next 24 hours, I have 2-3 new nasty pimples! I really just want my skin to feel normal and healthy. Whenever my skin feels good, it bounces back and starts to improve.Side note: * I've been experimenting with more flax seed / zinc / fish oil, but nothing seems to stand out. Unfortunately, it seems like everything seems to have a mild effect on my skin (always for the negative)Thanks for any help!
