Hello-I am an esthetician!!!! My opinion on your skin care routine is....
Get rid of everything BUT the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer, your foundation is ok as well. Don't ever scrub your face with St. Ives, you will be better off using a wash cloth to exfoliate.

Because the products you are using are crap!!! You never want to put anything on your face that has rough exfoliating beads like St. Ives, especially if your skin is heavly pigmentated. St. Ives is going to do the following to your skin: created small micro tears damaging your skin and more than likely creating more hyperpigmentation.

I get the fact that you don't have sensitive skin, my answer to that is SO WHAT. I never assumed you had sensitive skin. You say Neutrogena products are highly regarded, by who, the ads on TV. Sweetie you have to read ingredients on the back of products and not be caught up in the advertisements that are telling you the product is this and that. Tell me a little bit about your skin and what you are trying to achieve and I can tell you more on what you need to use. Neutrogena isn't the worse thing you could use, but depending on your skin type it may not be the best either!!!
