I have a similar problem - unfortunately only Chanel, Clinique and Cyclax like talking to my skin without it busting out in red blood vessels and little pin-prick blisters. :-\ The only way around the battle for clean pores without looking like Joan Rivers I've found is use a face cleanser for dry skin that you use water to wash off. It's a tap water theeung in that you respect the amount of chemicals the water board adds to your supply and trust in those to break down excess oils in the facial wash. *taps nose* Consider it a pre-toner effect.
Moisturiser's a tricky little monkey. Try Superdrug instead of Boots and look for Cyclax lotion - it's light, it's nice, goes on and in easy and it's cheap (less than £5 for 500mls where I get mine from).
