 Hi there,
My friend's mother suffered adult acne for her whole life (she is 55) up until 5 years ago when she started using Sulfacet-R. She swears by it. Here's some info on the drug: http://www.medbroadcast.com/drug_info_details.asp?brand_name_id=1273 She also has rosacea and it made her face go back to her normal color.
As for me, I always use Arbonne Clear Advantage. It's really gentile and doesn't dry out skin AT ALL. Here is some info on it: http://arbonne.com/products/beyond_basics/set.asp (I do not sell Arbonne, I actually use it. heh) If you don't know anyone that sells it in your area, there are tons of people selling the sets on eBay (it's also cheaper this way, too).
As for the medication you're on, it sounds like you need to stop using it. It's good that it gets rid of the spots, but who cares if it's making you're whole face red, you know? Just ask your doctor about Sulfacet-R to see if you could at least have a trial sample (if your doctor thinks it's safe for you to use; I'm not sure of your medical history so I can't say that it would be the perfect choice for you, you know?).
Take care.

 If something is making your skin red then that's not a good sign. "If irritation occurs discontinue use." I see that all the time on skin care products. I think it's time to stop using whatever it is you're using. Or use it less frequently. Try another product. One that's for sensitive skin.

Try and look for routines for sensitive skin.
