I'm not kidding. It's been this way for years. I have the occasional stray pimple during my period (that can't seem to be dodged) but beyond that, nothing much.
I simply wash my face with water as I deem fit and maybe once or twice a week I give my face a rub a dub dub with some soap (right now, I'm totally in love with Claire Organics' Guinness soap) when I think I need it - mostly when the oil build up feels bad, but trust me, you'll know when you need to wash it off.
Interestingly, I did find claims over the Internet that some people found a lot of their acne problems went away after they stopped using commercial facial cleansers the same way people find that their hair condition improves without shampoo. Beyond that, Riley said the same of his usually acne prone skin to me just last week.

Much like the whole no poo thing, I'm pretty sure there'll be a transition period if you ditch your facial cleansers but perhaps that could be something that may work for your skin? I've heard of all sorts of variants, from simply cutting down on the facial routine to drastically trashing everything.
I don't know, though. I'm just this random person on the internet. :D
