Has anyone ever achieved to get rid of flakes from healing acne without dousing your face in moisturiser?

I have moderate acne, and suffer from seriously oily skin, to the point where I have to blot it several times a day, but around the areas of spots that are healing, I have loads of flakes. I've tried picking them off with tweezers to avoid too much irritation, I've tried manual exfoliation, and I've tried applying copious amounts of oil free moisturiser but this just seems to make my skin twice as oily by the end of the day, despite being oil free. A week ago I started using mandelic acid which acts as a chemical exfoliant, but still.. lots of flakes!

Anyone have any advice? Recommendation of products?

Supplements. I reccomend you take a supplement to Decrease the Oil sebum produced, So you have less oil. Then Dans AHA for the Flakiness.
