Face cleanser for oily skin/mild breakouts?

[halfpint]

I've been using Origins Checks and Balances and United State toner for a while, but as I've moved into the end of my pregnancy, it can't keep up with my breakouts. I've been getting moderate blemishes on my chin and lots of clogged pores on my nose - I'm afraid this will probably continue postpartum, and would like to try something more geared toward oily/breakout prone skin.

I kind of want avoid salicylic acid or anything that's strictly for acne, those seem to be too harsh on my skin. I'm hoping my skin will get back to normal in a few months, once my hormones regulate a little bit?

Any suggestions?

ETA: I also posted this accidentally on MM Moms

You can read my sea salt post update for my recommendations.  Good luck!

I second the Tea Tree line and a Clarisonic. Both work really well for me when I'm having breakouts.

I've had luck with Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Gel Cleanser. It's gentle, but the gel seems to clean oily skin well. For me, the cleanser being gentle is the most important thing when I'm struggling with acne.

My derm recommended Cereve wash and the AM and PM lotion.

My skin is prone to oiliness and is very sensitive and I have mild rosacea.

I have oily/combo skin and have used the basic Neutrogena cleanser for years (liquid and bar). I've also used the tea tree line at The Body Shop. Also, have you considered trying a Clarisonic?

I use the neutrogena bar too. I find that it really dries my skin out, so I have to make sure that I put a moisturizer on immediately after getting out of the shower. I've used the body shop tea tree line, as well as the Origins "zero oil" stuff. I don't remember anything specific about either of them, so they must not have been horrible. I just like to switch things up a bit.
