Here's what I use now (yes, I did try quite a few products before deeming these faves):
I like t
o use two different facial washes, one in the am and another 
in the pm.*Love derma e for am washes. I have tried both their "very clear, problem skin cleanser" and the "very clear cleansing scrub," both amazing. Refreshing tea tree in both. The cream cleanser is gentle and mild and the scrub gives vitality. I like to switch them up in the am. I only breakout with the smallest blemish about once a month, and then I zap it with a little water + tea tree oil dipped q-tip at night, and it's gone in a few days.
*In the evening, I use GloMinerals "gloPurifying gel cleanser" it's great for removing all my m
akeup (even mascara!) and leaves a completely clean feeling without drying my skin out. Been using this for almost 3 years now. It's a bit stronger than my am wash- I decided wanted to use it only at night for it's great makeup removing power.
Both moisturizers (day and night) that I ended up with are earth science based out of my lovely college town of Santa Barbara, CA.
*I use their "almond-aloe spf-15 moisturizer," absolutely amazing. It's light and airy, doesn't dry greasy at all, and keeps my skin baby-soft all day long- and protected! Retails around $14, available at Whole Foods.
*At night I use their "apricot n
ight creme" which is thick and a bit heavy at first, but great for bringing back the glow to my, ah-hem, aging skin. Deeply repairs at night and my skin looks fab in the am. Something about the packaging makes me feel like it's a luxurious splurge, too. Retails about $15, available at Whole Foods.
Face masks to come!
*Just fyi, I have combination skin; dry in some spots, slightly oily in a few places now and then, breaks out occasionally here and there, and noticing the aging process take place- so I think my recommendations work for a variety of skin-types generally around the 20-40 age range.
