1% BHA and TRUE sensitive skin

[smk28 0]

I've been using 1% Paula's choice BHA for 8 weeks now (with her balancing cleanser/toner/moisturizer) and I'm STILL very tight, dry, sore... If I have a pustule and I even touch the surface with a warm cottonball (I don't really pick or squeeze) my skin peels back because it's so thin and leaves an open sore. I can't use BP more than once a week because of the severe drying it causes. Does anyone else have truly sensitive skin like this and how do you combat the breakouts when my skin doesn't tolerate anything that 'works'?
