I love Cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser.
I got awful cystic acne when I had a Mirena IUCD in and after treating it my skin became very sensitive.
Cetaphil is soap free and ph neutral so very gentle on skin. It is pretty cheap too. $20ish on special for a huge bottle at the pharmacy.

I use dermologica products and yes it can be expensive but I buy from strawberry net so get it at 50% off what it is sold for in salons. The good thing about strawberry net is that you only need a small amount of product that you can make the products last between 6 - 12 mths.

I use Neutrogena when I'm pregnant and Clinique when I'm not (my skin is way oilier at the moment and for some reason the Neutrogena just works better!).
I tried Dr Lewinns when I was home a couple of years ago and LOVED it but can't find it here.

I use Neutrogena face wash from the supermarket, it is the best thing I have found for my skin, it only costs about $13 for a tube and lasts DH and I around 6 weeks. And I use Dr Haushka moisturiser from Farmers. It is $50 for a small bottle but I only use it every couple of days and seems to last forever.

I use a mixture or Garnier, Nutrogena and St Ives. My skin is really oily and I find mixing between them stops that, if I stay with the same product for too long my skin goes yuck. Also the oily skin means I am prone to blackheads which nothing gets rid off! 
I only use the scrubs and use them about 3 times a week, as I find the face washes, cleansers, toners, moisturisers make me break out.

I use Natio cleanser and their primer and scrub cheap from Farmers and great! And then I use a shesido (sp) moisturiser. Moisture mist is also cheap and lasts ages I just find it's not quite enough if your prone to the odd break out :)
Good luck it took me forever to find something cheap I liked
