Do you have access to Clinque? I recently posted about their rinse off
foaming cleanser and love it because it really cleans well without
drying my skin out - my skin's similar to yours, slightly dry and some
fine lines. The cleanser is fragrance free and has a mid range price,
another plus.

I follow this with Clinque Superdefense cream which has SPF 25 and
antioxidants. So far, so good. I haven't had breakouts or allergic
reactions and think my skin looks better than ever. I even feel pretty
comfortable skipping foundation once in awhile, and I didn't until I
found this routine.
