I'm not a makeup artist or skin care expert, but I've spent enough time and money on products that didn't work to know that when I find something good, I stick with it and spread the word.

SkinCeuticals: LHA Cleansing Gel and LHA Solution
If you have oily or combination skin, SkinCeuticals LHA Cleansing Gel and LHA Solution are just for you. My mom has really oily skin and at the age of 56 she still has break outs. I have used this combination before and recommended it to my mother because it really cleared up my skin a few years ago. She has used it for about two weeks and so far has seen a significant difference in the quality of her skin. Her face is brighter,she has less blackheads, and when she wakes up her face isn't as oily. The cleansing gel alone will cost you about $36 for an 8 oz. bottle and the solution (toner) is about the same price depending on where you buy it. You can just purchase the cleansing gel if you want and will get really good results, but I still recommend the toner to remove excess dirt, oil, and to balance the pH in your skin. You'll find SkinCeuticals at almost any medspa, dermatologist, or high end beauty store. It really is a good line. Every dermatologist I have been too has at least recommended one SkinCeuticals product to me. SkinCeuticals is a little pricey but you do get your money's worth hands down. You only need about a pea size amount of gel to cleanse your face and if you want better results, I would recommend using it with the Clarisonic Microdermabrasion or something similar to it.

Peter Thomas Roth: Clini-Matte All Day Oil Control SPF20
Let me start off by saying that the Clini-Matte All Day Oil Control SPF20 is AMAZING!!! I can't say it enough. It's hard to find both a sunscreen and primer in the same bottle that actually works. I use it around my t-zone area and cheeks (my shiny areas). I have been using this product for over a year now and I can't imagine replacing it with anything else. This is a great product and helps keep your makeup on throughout the day. However, you still need to use a moisturizer with this, so I don't recommend using this product alone. Peter Thomas Roth has a really good line and the Clini-Matte All Day Oil Control SPF20 is one that truly stands out from the rest. I have found Peter Thomas Roth products at Sephora, Ulta, or you can purchase them online. It will cost you about $48 and will last for about 6 months if you use it everyday. Just a little bit goes a long way and is great for both oily and combination skin.
