Believe it or not, at the grand old age of 30, I've just started using a cleanser and moisturiser! Used just to use soap and then aqueous cream cos I have sensitive skin. Anyway, since I've been using the cleanser and moisturiser (Virgin Vie ones), my skin has been really spotty; more so than usual. Is this just the impurities coming out and will it calm down eventually or should I be using different products?

You might find you're using too much of the products and you're getting spots because your skin is clogging up and can't breathe. It could also be that you are having a reaction to one or more of the ingredients in the products you are using.
It could also be that the products you are using are cleaning your skin of too much of it's own protective oils, so it's making more to compensate and you're getting the 30 year old's equivalent of 'teenage' spots.
Why not just stick to what you've always used, if it's suited you all these years?
It could be your skin is getting used to the products or the product you've chosen doesn't suit your skin, I occasionally have that the problem when I dare to change products. I've always found the ones that cause my skin to react least are Simple products or Synergie's cleanser for dry/sensitive skin.

When you say cleanser, do you mean facial wash or a lotion you massage into the skin? If it's the lotion, I always dampened my cotton wool pad first to help lift off as much product as possible and follow with a toner then moisturiser.

Thanks for your answers folks. The cleanser is one you massage in. I'll try taking it off with a damp cotton wool pad because it does seem as if the skin is really oily. I stopped using the aqueous cream because it's just water and wasn't actually nourishing the skin.
im 27 n been throu most products, i found bio oil works really well after u wash your face in a face wash with witch hazel or tea tree in.
