Face Wash Options

What face wash product do you use? Is toner necessary?

When I'm staying at my boyfriend's house, I use his Shiseido Deep Cleansing Foam from the Pureness line, since he uses that for his face (he has pretty bad acne but is currently on Accutane). It's really light and you only have to use a little bit, but it works really well. It does leave my face a little dryer, but that's because the Pureness line is dedicated to fighting acne. Or at least, that's what the Shiseido consultant said at Macy's, haha.
MSRP: $20

When I'm at home (lol which is once a week), I am trying to finish up my Aveeno Skin Brightening Scrub. There was a time where I used this constantly since I was at home more and it worked really well, since my face felt much fresher after I used it, compared to other products. The only thing is that it feels more rougher on my face, since it is a scrub. I have to use it more gently against my face, compared to my other cleansers
MSRP: $6

I also bought a Shiseido Gentle Cleansing Foam from The Skincare line, but I haven't used it yet. The Shiseido consultant at Macy's told me it would soften my skin more. My skin has been getting really dry lately unless I'm sweating in the sun, lol. I am still trying to finish my Aveeno face wash before I use this, so it's in the closet.
MSRP: $28

As for toner, since I am currently trying to clear up all my acne, I use Mary Kay Blemish Control Toner (Salicyclic Acid 2%, Formula 3) And honestly, I have to say that if I have a pimple, I would pop it if it's a whitehead AND I'd apply this toner twice a day, dabbing more on the spot. Since popping pimples tend to leave scars, I noticed that the toner has been helping FADE my scars! I live by this toner now, and it's pretty cheap. Eventually I'll have to switch to the Shiseido toner once I stop getting pimples in general.
MSRP: $13 each, but I got 2 for $14 because of a sale!
