Dry skin+ large pores 

Does anyone else struggle with acne-prone skin that is dry and has large pores?

Any suggestions for skincare regimes?

My brief internet search revealed the usual contradictory suggestions.

I just want a simple solution that won't take forever to implement or cause my skin to go red and flaky.

Dry skin+ large pores 

Hm, my skin more closely resembles dehydrated skin rather than naturally dry skin. It feels tight and it's red and flaky, but still has an oily sheen to it.

Supposedly what causes this is using the wrong products. Which is fine, but I hardly use any skin products? Just a fragrance-free, gentle cleanser twice a day and moisturizer. Tf?

There's a possibility this is related to diabetes. High blood sugar can dry out and irritate skin. That's actually pretty likely.
