[Routine Help] How to find problem product in new routine

Hi all, I am still a bit new to skincare compared to others and am currently trying to just have a good simple routine going. Cleanser, moisturizer, SPF if I go outside

I feel that either my cleanser or moisturizer is breaking me out, but feel a little lost on finding the problem. I have sensitive somewhat dry skin. I know common sense says just use one and not the other and see what happens. If I use a cleanser without moisturizing I know I will be so dry my skin won’t be doing well anyway. But if I moisturize without any cleanser while already having a breakout, couldn’t it just be another thing on my skin not getting washed enough and make the breakout worse?

I thought about trying to test them again elsewhere on my body (I did this originally before using both) but my body skin can handle anything compared to my face, it really never has any issues at all regardless of what I do or don’t do or what products are in it so I feel like I can’t spot test without risking my face more
