You can stop researching, hon- those formulas are all unique, and don't fix it if it ain't broken.
You won't find similar products, even the cleanser is unique in having very very mild detergents. The only other one that might work is the Olay Sensitive Foaming one.
By the way- it's the formulation, not where you can buy the stuff.
The only thing that is not involved in your success is the copper peptide serum, it takes months and up to a year before (if at all) it shows results. There's very weak research to back it up. People on the website's forum where you bought it hype it. A retinoid does much much more ( prescription or a retinaldehyde product, Avene holds the patent).
I'd suspect the mandelic and kojic acid to help with your clogged pores. You miiiight try an acid product by makeupartistschoice.com, but otherwise I know of no reliable company that sells it.
The % of the 2% AHA is too low for it to work as an exfoliant, it works as a moisturizing agent instead.
Whatever- if this works for you, by all means don't change it! If you find similar acid products, I'd give them a try, but definitely don't start experimenting if you like your skin like it is.
Just make sure your sunscreen is photostable, if not you need to reapply hourly. You also need one with great UVA protection (PPD), info about all this here:
