I just don't know where to begin with this post. I guess I'll start by saying what my problems are and what I products I use right now. It should be interesting to see how this evolves as I already have a wish list of sorts of products I want to get after I use some others up.
I have very strange skin. I get stress acne and my skin has wild mood swings, one month it's dry as a bone and the next month they're calling out the National Guard to control the oil slick On. My. Face. Fun times. I'm also in my mid twenties so preventing wrinkles, crows feet etc in my thirties is something I need to keep in the back of my mind and not get reckless with sun exposure or other hazards.

Ponds Cold Cream : This is my Holy Grail makeup remover. It's moisturizing and conditioning so I don't have to worry about drying out my skin. It's also not harsh in any way. I find it best to rub all over my face to loosen up my makeup and use some on a couple of cotton balls for my eyes, then take a warm cloth and wipe it off.

Cetaphil : When my skin is particularly dry I tend to use this because it's gentle and helps with any break outs I may have and it's a gentle daily face wash, so that's a plus.

Garnier Ultra Life Eye Cream : This is really the first and only eye cream I have used and it's very moisturizing and doesn't sting my eyes at all. I use this every night and once it's out I think I will go with a Kiehls eye cream.

Olay Age Defying Classic Night Cream : I bought this on a whim. I wanted something a little stronger then the Neutrogena night cream (which I will get to) and also just to try an Olay product once again. I had another cream a few years ago but I can't remember what it was called and I didn't use it every night either so I couldn't tell you if it worked or not. So far I like this product, I alternate it with the next night cream.

Neutrogena Naturals Nourishing Night Cream : I was really intrigued by this product just because it's all natural. No harsh chemicals and it smells like coconut. Okay I found that out after I got it home but still. I wasn't sure how my skin would react to night creams so I went with this and my skin seems to like it. It's not anti-aging like the Olay and since it's all natural it's not as strong but it gives my skin a little break from the chemicals when I alternate them.

Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil : Okay so I don't use this on my face and really wouldn't recommended that but I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this. I apply this straight out of the shower at night before I dry off and under lotion and in the morning I have the softest skin.

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Stress Control : This won and award in Allure magazine apparently, which I mean fine, whatever. All I know is that it is very cleansing and works. It doesn't leave my skin too dry but gets rid of excess oil and makes my skin feel clean, like really really clean and fresh like there is nothing dirty or oily on it, almost vulnerably clean. The smell has a eucalyptus type scent which makes me blow my nose after every use. So sinus clearing as well as acne clearing.

NOTE : Not pictured is Dermalogica Active Moist and Skin Prep Scrub which I love and have used up. I bought the sample pack to see what my skin responded to and will repurchase those two later. Also not pictured is sunscreen and my Vitamin E moisturizing oil which I talked about in my March Favorites.
