how to improve textured and dry skin on the face (skincarecels gtfih)

[Deleted member 332093]

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ, I REALL DO NEED HELP!!

my skin is dry even after showers. and its textured too — acne scars from 3-4 years ago. scars and dryness aren't as bad as you can imagine, but bad enough where its noticeable when youre close.

skin problems/acnes i have:
-blackheads
-papules (sometimes)
-mechanica/pustules (cant really tell the diff)
-hyperpigmentation?? (im not sure if thats whats its called but its a part of my skin that turned a darker shade because of a past acne)

this is my the products i use and my routine:
MORNING (during/after showers)
-scrub using face towel (sometimes just hands) soaked with lukewarm water (typically monday and friday)
-i use a bar soap, get suds and just rub it on my face (Oilatum, had this recommended when i went to the doctors for some allergy on my face and the doctor noticed my skins was dry as fuck ), then rinse
-SPF 50 sunscreen
-i take ascorbic too (read on BOTB that vit C helps the skin)
-pimple patches (when its very visible)

EVENING
-same shit just without the face towel and sunscreen

ik my "routine" if you can even call it that is shit. just please help me, willing to answer/give additional info
