Have you ever heard of seabuckthorn oil? I've tried Aubrey Organics seabuckthorn cleanser and soap and Demedox and they all dried out my skin more, but I got seabuckthorn seed oil from bluesagenaturals and they sent me a free sample of their soap and it's only been a couple days but so far it's the best soap I ever used. I got Seborrheic Dermatitis , peeling lips, dry, itchy skin, and occasional acne, and I know what you mean about not being able to smile and sometimes even talk without your face hurting. I've had times where I could barely open my mouth without the corners of my lips bleeding. But back to the point, the bluesagenatural soaps are really expensive but they might help. They have one marketed as super moisturizing, but it costs twice as much as the others. I'm going to try some seabuckthorn pills I saw on iherb as soon as I get more money and I might try bluesagenatural's moisurizer and eczema cream if the soap doesn't stop working and I'll let you know if they help.
