Depends what your skin is like, for a moisturizer just about any brand would do since they mostly contain the same ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, niacinamide, and squalane. Picking an appropriate cleanser is more reliant on your skin type, my skin is sensitive and dryish so I use gentler cleansers. If you're oily, you might want more aggressive cleansers like a foaming cleanser.

So if I use a basic cleanser + moisturizer twice a day it's okay?

My skin is both dry and oily. It depends on the day. Usually my nose and forehead are oily but when I used the Cerave foaming cleanser it gets dry really fast. I then applied a moisturizer but I don't do anything like that anymore. I booked an appointment with a dermatologist to make him look at my scalp (so for hair loss) and my face.

All depends on your skin, try and find out. The cheap skincare product can be better for you than the expensive one and vice-versa.

and sunscreen, sunscreen is the most important when it comes to skincare.
