My skin has never been perfect. however recently I've been noticing terrible break outs. probably the worst I've ever had. before I get into the products. I do cleanse twice a day, sleep on clean pillow cases and have a extremely healthy diet. I also do have sensitive oily/semi dry skin)
cleanser - burts bees (anti blemish solutions
toner -tea tree toner from the body shop
and seaweed mystifying moisturize lotion from the body shop.
I've recently changed my skin care in the last two months! I'm just not sure which one is breaking me out!!
also if you all know of any new products that are affordable and worth trying!! that would be amazing!!

I used tea tree cleanser from the body shop and it made my skin very red and inflamed. I've started using cerave cleanser and my skin is reacting much better. Have you considered the foundation/primer that youre using? Primers in general make my skin break out and so do many foundations.

The tea tree might be too strong or harsh for your skin since you already have sensitive skin. when something is too strong for your skin it will dry it out and make it oilier resulting in more acne, so has your face been more oily since you've used it?

Try to take a break from the toner and makeup.

Is your skin running dry at the moment? I agree that tea tree products, while effective for acne, can be tricky because layering them can cause irritation and redness. An aloe based toner would be a better pair with a tea tree wash. Mario Badescu and Paula's Choice may provide you with better results. I'd stop toning with your current product, drink green tea and make a tea rinse to reduce inflammation and calm the skin as well. I'd also only use the tea tree wash once daily and use CeraVe hydrating wash for my second face wash.
If you have spots rather than full-face acne, you may want pull back from washes intended for the entire face and use CeraVe with a spot treatment. My favorite is Bare Minerals Blemish Therapy. Good luck!

(I'd also counter any dryness with Jojoba in the evening)
