I'd suggest trying some products with salicylic acid in them. Go for a facewash that moisturizes while it cleans, so that it isn't as harsh on your face. I have sensative skin too, which is why products that contain benzoyl peroxide are really harsh on my face. I use Biore right now. Also, if your skin tends to get dry when you use fashwash on it look for a moisturizer that is made for people will acne problems.

personally, noxzema has been a life saver for me. i, too, have sensitive and dry skin. i use the plus moisturizer one, and it works a miracle. also, find a nice mineral makeup (like everyday minerals), and do a REALLY light dust daily. just get a nice big brush and do a little dusting before you go out or when you're done working out. mineral makeups tend to have the perfect balance of moisture.

I also have acne problems and sensitive skin, so I understand your problems. I use a variety of different products, but the ones I use the most are Cetaphil(cleanses without drying skin out) & Milk of Magnesia(which is commonly used for stomach problems/constipation but it works wonders on acne). To use the Milk of Magnesia on your face, apply with cotton ball/cotton pad and spread it onto your whole(dry) face, let it dry(but dont leave it on too long) then rinse with warm water. It usually dries skin out so make sure to use a good oil free moisturizer(I use Neutrogena oil-free moisturizer for combination skin). If you wear makeup, make sure it's oil free. I use Neutrogena Skin Clearing oil-free makeup. It helps keep skin clear while reducing shine. Hope this helps!
