[Skin Concerns] Oily, clogged pores/cc's, dehydrated(?) skin

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey guys, I got a few frustrating questions with my skin.I am a 15M and I've mostly suffered with oily skin. Around the same time last year, I had a few cc's pop up mainly on my forehead and I got Curology to deal with that (2% azelaic acid, 1% clindamycin, 0.25% zinc pyrithone. That helped me very well and it really didn't take that long, about 2-3 months.In July this year, I had the same type of breakouts happen but much worse. Inflamed skin, even more cc's, so I decided to get the Cerave Salicylic Acid cleanser. But the problem was, I was using a terrible moisturizer (was meant to be an eye cream), some days didn't use a moisturizer because I thought my skin was too oily. That went terribly, I started to breakout on my cheeks when before I wouldn't. I got Curology again in October, but this time with 4% azelaic acid. This helped me a lot with my inflammation and some of my cc's but my skin still looks way off.I'm starting to believe that my skin is just dehydrated after what had happened with the salicylic acid cleanser and that I live in a colder less humid climate. I've have gotten the Cerave hydrating cleanser and that has helped somewhat as well as using Vaseline after my moisturizer in pm. I drink lots of water, around 100 oz everyday as well. I just need any type of help on this, my confidence and self-esteem have been super low due to this, thanks
