Is there anything i can remove/add to my regimen? i am highly allergic to benzoyl peroxide, it makes my eyes swell and makes my face unbearably dry. 
Your skin care regimen is far too elaborate. You are deactivating many ingredients by piling everything on. What you need to do is stick with a simple regimen.
On a side note, benzoyl peroxide is supposed to make faces dry. That doesn't mean you're allergic to it! If anyone gets it near their eyes, the eyes will swell up.
The best thing to do is to simplify your regimen and find something that works well for you in the process. That is often a long trial-and-error process. However, what I'd suggest is to use a premade kit to help you to make sure you have everything you need and nothing extra that you DON'T need!
Try the neutrogena kit - it contains a salicylic acid face wash, spot treatment (use sparingly!) and daily moisturizer. Another GREAT kit (that is very pricey in comparison) is the Patricia Wexler acne kit (you can get it at Bath and Body Works). If you still are extraordinarily shiny, consider adding mineral-based powder makeup like Physician's Formula or Bare Essentials. Often, caked-on makeup is a major culprit for acne. You have the largest regimen I've ever seen!
If you want to stick with what you already have, I'd do this:
Morning: Use the Neutrogena Blackhead eliminating daily scrub in the shower with warm water, scrub GENTLY (more abrasion feels good, but it leaves your skin inflamed, and swollen skin will trap oil). When you get out of the shower, pat your face dry GENTLY and then add a TONER. Those are inexpensive ($2 to $5 from Neutrogena). Then finish with the clean and clear pore perfecting moisturizer.
Night: Do exactly what you do in the morning, except instead of the scrub, use the clean and clear shine control facial cleanser.
The point is that you need to use ONLY one cleanser, a toner, and a moisturizer. More does damage to the skin. If you need to do it three times per day, then go ahead!
When you run out of one scrub, go ahead and use up another scrub IN ITS PLACE until you're out of stuff, and then go pick up only one facial product of each type instead of picking up 5 scrubs and using them all at once!
I wish someone had helped me with this when I was going through my teenage years - but practice and experience make a huge difference!
