My current skin care routine (managing adult acne)

Man time flies i can't believe its February already. Today i want to talk about my skin care routine and products that have helped me get rid of my acne. A little disclaimer before i go on I'm in no way shape or form an expert but i have been struggling with acne since i was about 13years old so i know a little bit. Now you would think by this age id be rid of it but its still a constant struggle but i have found a way to manage it.
A little background on my skin: i have very oily acne prone and dehydrated skin :(.. i have been using the acne.org regimen for the past 2 years and my skin loves it i haven't had new or serious breakouts ever since I've been using it, however because the regimen has benzoyl peroxide it made my skin very dehydrated and i mean Sahara desert dry. So i had to incorporate some things or something to bring moisture back into my skin. On top of that i still have dark spots that I'm desperately trying to get rid of, anyway onto the products;

PS; some products i only started using recently like my eye cream and moisturizer with spf(this actually is helping fade my dark spots and i highly recommend it)
1.
This is the whole regimine I recently added the aha+ on the far left because I heard it helps reduce dark spots and overall texture of the skin and it's true but it does sting a little when you apply it on however it does what its supposed to do.

2.
I use this neutrogena hydro boost for extra dry skin it is so quenching to my skin and it's my absolute favourite thing, highly recommend it. If you don't not have very dehydrated skin like me you can get the regular one.

3. 
This is the ceraVe moitsurizing moisturizing lotion AM with spf 30 is amazing, nothing feels better than protecting your skin from sun rays. This is also a recent buy it has been good no breakouts and my dark spots are fading its also very affordable which is always a plus.

4. 
Finally this Olay regenerist eye lifting serum is a dream, it hydrates and depuffs my under eye and lid area so much. It's expensive for such a small tube but it's worth every penny (trying to prevent those wrinkles too, I'm not getting any younger lol)

Side note: Im currently obsessed with this Colbie Caillat song that was featured in my favourite youtube vloggers' recent video. Im also loving this Justin Bieber song and this cover of trap queen by Josh Levi...XO
