I heard the clarisonic aren't very good and can cause rashes if you have super sensitive skin? I was reading a lot of negative reviews about them. I do like oil based cleansing washes beacuse my face is so dry a little oil gives a bit of hydration

Really very soft. Also Micellar waters from various brands, effective and highly soft ( for sensitive skins )

I use Lancome's Eau Micellaire Douceur for removing makeup and I like it a lot. It sometimes doesn't do a good job with heavy eye makeup, for which I use Clinique's Take the Day Off.
Next step is Clarisonic. Currently I'm using Murad's Environmental Shield Essential-C Cleanser with it. I like it, but not enough to repurchase. I'm about to run out, and I haven't yet decided what to replace it with.
I like to finish off with a toner. My current toner is Biotherm's Biosource Toner for normal/combination skin. But I will go back to my old favourite, Clarins' Alcohol Free Toning Lotion (the green one) because it's easier on the skin, especially in the cold winter months.
I think I'm overdoing the cleansing a bit but I'm worried that if I eliminate some steps from my routine the awful blackheads will come back again.

I gotta say I've tried all type of makeup remover and the best type is cream / paste.
I'm really against to milkish fomular and water fomular, as simple as through all the rinsing, the only thing you will get is wrinkles. And it doesn't clean well.
So what cleans better and doesn't need a lot of rinsing?
Makup removal oil or makeup removal paste / cream!
The differece between them is the oil actually is for oily or combination skin type and the paste is perfect for dry skin or sensitive skin.
But be careful with oil, since most of them you need to emulsify it with a little bit of water, if the emulsification is not done completely, it may cause acne.
I recommend FANCL mild cleansing oil, or HABA squa cleansing oil.
I don't recommend DHC deep cleansing oil or SHU UEMURA cleansing oil, because both of them has caused acne on my skin.
Since my skin is quite dry and sensitive, although oil is good enough for most of the people, my skin could still feel being dried off after the wash.
That's why I use makeup removal paste.
I have tried many brand but the difference is not huge, the only thing I need to say is go for the Japanese brand, if you don't live in Asia, the easiest brand for you to get should be SENSAI and ANNAYAKE (french brand Japanese concept, will go).
After makeup remover, I use clarisonic to clean my skin again.

I have been using Olay cleansing lotion makeup remover that was discontinued a few years ago, but I stocked up on as much as I could! It was the best at removing EVERYTHNG, just rub it on, then with warm wash cloth wipe all that gunk off, no dry skin or breakouts. Toner optional, lately use witch hazel. Before I found the Olay cleansing lotion I was using the oil cleansing method and had a few recipes that I mixed up myself, and that did a great job balancing my skin from being overly oily to normal. Also applied natural oils to my face after a spray on hydrosol, or water based serum. Now I just use regular stuff and I don't break out or have greasy skin by 10 a.m. like it was when I was using the very harsh cleansers that are sold by the skin care lines in departments stores. My skin was so OILY that they were selling me the Clinique#4 system, and my skin just kept getting oilier and oiler. After a couple weeks using oils, my skin was actually amazingly normal! I just always thought "my skin is oily, I need to get the oil free stuff", but my skin kept pumping more out. It was out of control, I am telling you!!! I wish I could find a substitute for the Olay cleansing lotion makeup remover that was discontinued!

Oh and forgot about the micellar waters!! I LOVE THEM!! I have used the Lancôme, MAC version, Caudalie, Koh Gen Do, very gentle and effective. Takes about 4 cotton pads to remove makeup. This works great when I am tired, and sometimes don't even feel I need a moisturizer

Depends on how much makeup I have on:
If I am feeling lazy I at least use a baby wipe as a remover towelette (they are thicker, wetter, cheaper and work better!)
If I have on a lot of makeup -
1. (Sometimes) a baby wipe to start with
2. Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover (I can't stand most eye makeup remover - they are so oily like)
3. Clinique Rinse off Foaming Cleanser
4. Estee Lauder Sparkling Clean oil-control foaming gel cleanser
5. Clinique clarifying lotion #3
6. then a little lotion
if I don't have a lot of makeup on -
I skip steps 1 - 3

The oil will help balance your skin out. Mine used to be very very oily and some wise ladies told me it was due to all the harsh cleansing agents I was using, and made my skin keep pumping out the oil. They advised me on the oil cleansing method, and within a week or two, my skin was no longer greasy! Oil is not bad for your skin! I always wanted oil free everything, because my oily skin just kept getting oilier, but it really works the opposite way.

I use an eye make up remover (constantly changing brands) and dove soap! I find face scrubs actually make me break out

I use clean and clear acne face wash something like that... I usually don't wear heavy makeup on a daily basis.... If I do, I use almay eye makeup remover then that's all.

For eye makeup, I love love love LANCÔME BI-FACIL - Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover. It's pricey but so worth it. For my face I just use Clinique cleanser (as part of Clinique 3-step) but I don't wear face makeup so it may not be good for removing heavy foundation.
Has anyone tried Boscia Purifying Cleanser? It's supposed to be good as a face makeup cleanser.

I will use the Equate cleansing wipes (just to help my cleanser along if I have a lot of makeup on) and the Olay foaming facial cleanser for sensitive skin. That cleanser is wonderful!

I use purity every night. I was using simple face wipes but I am trying our yes to cucumbers one. I will probably go back to simple. I have normal/sensitive skin.
