Acne? And dry skin…….?

Well, to start off with, i should tell you i have dry skin.
My nose, forehead and chin are more oily then my cheeks, but they are still quite dry.
When I use any kind of facial products that have much more than 1% salicylic acid in it, it super dries out my skin. (Clearasil, Neutrogena,Proactive, Clean and Clear, Stridex Pads, none have worked for me[maybe i got the wrong kind?])
Just recently I have been getting little bumps on my forehead. They arn't zits, they are just little bumps starting where my eyebrows meet and exceeding to about the middle of my forehead.
The only places i really get zits is on my forehead and my nose, sometimes I get a random zit on my cheek, which is hard to get rid of because of my dry skin, but usually I get them on my t-zone area.
But I am having a problem with finding a skin routine that won't dry my face out, but at the same time, get rid of my nasty bumps, and zits.
So please if you have anyrecommendationss that might be helpful, tell me(:
(if anyone has tried the Clinique skin care products for dry skin, pleasee give me your review on them(:
