I suggest you stop using the St. Ives scrub. That one has large pieces that can cause micro tears in the skin which can lead to damage and breakouts.

I use the clinique cleanser and the glam glow exfoliate mask! You should try both.

For starters, that Olay product is scented and that can easily irritate skin. As for that scrub, I'd save it for my feet or toss it. I believe it contains walnut she'll pieces which are jagged and can cause micro tears in your skin, not to mention further redness and irritation. People are often under the impression that srubbing is the way to beat blackheads or acne, but chemical exfoliation such as a salicylic wash paired with a great toner is what you are seeking. I'd counter the dryness with a hydrating, light, fragrance - free moisturizer.

Perhaps look into Aveeno ' s Salicylic Wash.

I recommend Thayers Aloe-based toner and CeraVe or Cetaphil for moisturizing.

For targeting spots, Neutrogena "On the Spot" has a lightly tinted option that works very well.

If you find the face wash drying, you can switch it to use at night only and use CeraVe wash in the AM.
You may want to look into investing in a Mia for your complexion. Paula's Choice has many acne washes and you can find those at http://www.paulaschoice.com/. Hope that helps.
