I use a Simple cleanser (http://www.simple.co.uk/products/Regeneration-Age-Resisting-Facial-Wash-150ml-44.aspx)
I have super dry skin, for what it's worth. A lot of moisturizers are not nearly moisturizing enough for me. For day I use Chanel Hydramax + Active moisturizer (it is a good moisturizer but the jury is still out on whether it does anything besides moisturize) and at night I use Creme de la Mer (which I've been using for 10 years and love dearly).
If my experiment with the Chanel fails, I'll probably give up on trying to find a moisturizer that does anything besides moisturize (I get my anti-aging and such from other products) and go back to Cetaphil's moisturizing lotion for dry, sensitive skin which is a basic but great (and very MM) moisturizer.
I am a Dermalogica fan. Again, not overly MM but I love their microfoliant and spf moisturizer. I actually use Yonka for cleanser -- the Dermalogica ones I have tried just weren't good. . I have been using both for years and they are great on my sensitive skin. I buy them online when they are discounted and they last a long time.
I have very dry sensitive skin, but had combo/acne prone in my earlier 20s so I've tried just about everything. MM favorite - Cerave, both the cleanser and moisturizer. I think it's even better than Cetaphil.

For a cleanser, I use Cetaphil or Origins A Perfect World. And for moisturizer, I use A Brighter Day by Origins and Night a Mins for night. Almost all of my skin care is Origins and it's not MM but I love it.
I like Alba Even Advanced Cleansing Gel - I found it at my local co-op but they also sell it at the drugstore and target.
For moisturizer, I'm shopping around. I actually really liked the Proactive Green Tea moisturizer, but it's so pricey if you're not a proactiv user. I haven't found another moisturizer that is light enough and doesn't smell weird.
I just switched cleansers a few months ago to CeraVe and its like I have new skin! I had been using purity made simple for the last 3-4 years and I'm pretty sure it is the worst possible cleanser for my sensitive dry skin. My dermatologist told me to stop using it and I no longer have weird dry patches and breakouts!
I use cerave and origins for a moisturizer. Cheap and works great!
