Can you help me replace my moisturiser? Oily / blemish prone, enlarged pores and on a budget

I use the No7 oily skin moisturiser with spf at the moment, but I'm still getting blemishes and it doesn't seem to be making much of an impact.

I'm on a budget at the moment so really doen't want to spend over £10 - £12

I'd like a SPF in it for helping prevent daily wear and tear damage on my skin as I don't tend to wear make up so my moisturiser is doing all the work!

My pores round my nose and chin are fairly visible, and my skin is combination / oily, but not too much

Any recommendations?

Neutrogena always has good reviews. And La Roche Rosay effaclar stuff is good, but more expensive though. I use Effaclar K which is about £13. That totally keeps my skin clear. No spf though, but brilliant stuff.

I'm using the Olay Blemish Control facewash followed by the Total Effects Day moisturiser - spf 15. The combination seems to be working for me!

La Roche Posay Effaclar K is the only thing that keeps me spot free. A teeny bit over your budget but well worth it

Neautrogena do a good daily moisturiser that has SPF. My Dad is a dermatologist and recommends their facial skincare very highly, nothing else comes close at the price apparently.

In terms of the oiliness, what do you wash your face with?
