Not sure if you use foundation but I have been using IT Cosmetics CC cream for about a month now and it is amazing.
Brightens, smooths, evens the skin tone.
My skin looks great.
They have it at Ulta

Get yourself a good cleanser -- I recommend CeraVe

And a good moisturizer - CeraVe also has a day face moisturizer and a night face moisturizer.

It isn't cheap but they sell it OTC where it used to be an RX and their products are amazing.

Then, the foundation Nell recommended above - I tried that out and felt it was awesome.

Wash your face and moisturize at least twice a day - morning and before bed, especially.

I use ceraVe too. It is fantastic. Costco has it for very little right now.

A good Exfoiliant once a week will help too. It will help take away the dead skin cells.

I know it's not popular around here, but I love the Micro-Dermabarsion Paste from Rodan and Fields. It smells great, isn't harsh and just leaves my skin feeling fresh after. I use it twice a week on my face and before and after waxing my underarms and bikini.

Look into Paula's Choice.
They have great mositurizers and they have a line for breakout prone skin and oily skin.

Also- I forgot to mention. A very important part of my skincare routine now is an exfoliant.
But not the rough scrubs.
A liquid exfoliant- BHA.
I put it on morning and night- after my cleanser and before my moisturizer.
It helps keeps pores unclogged and really keeps skin looking glowing.

Paula's choice has a bunch.

So just to update..I basically raided Ulta and got:

Environmental shield Kit


http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2230309

Along with Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream and ulta's version of the clarasonic.

I also got a travel size It cosmetics cc cream to see how I liked it.

I have to say I usually don't notice any difference when I use products but I can really tell my skin looks much better. The murad products are fantastic my skin is definitely brighter. I'm also loving the IT cosmetics cream, and I have tried a lot of foundations, I was using makeup forever most recently and that stuff is pretty good. I wasn't a fan of the It concealer though, I felt like it didn't blend that well under my eyes. Will def be back for the full size..thanks for the recommendations!
