You seem to have inflammatory acne with pus-filled pimples on the jawline and forehead, along with skin dryness. Jawline acne can often be hormonal, while dryness may be due to over-cleansing or a damaged skin barrier. Your current routine is simple and good but may need acne-specific treatment.
Next Steps
Continue using a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil twice daily and keep applying your moisturizer regularly to support the skin barrier. Use your sunscreen daily. You may need to add a topical acne treatment such as adapalene or benzoyl peroxide at night, depending on your skin tolerance. If there is no improvement in 4â6 weeks or the acne worsens, consult a dermatologist as you may require oral treatment.
Health Tips
Avoid picking or squeezing pimples as this can worsen acne and lead to marks. Do not over-wash your face or use harsh scrubs, as this can increase dryness. Stick to non-comedogenic and gentle products, stay well hydrated, and maintain a consistent skincare routine since acne treatment takes time to show results.

You seem to have inflammatory acne (pus-filled pimples), likely with a hormonal component (jawline involvement) along with a compromised skin barrier, which is why your skin is feeling dry.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Do not over-wash or over-treat → worsening dryness
• Avoid picking/squeezing pimples (prevents marks)
• Jawline acne may be hormonal—if persistent, may need further evaluation
