What products should be changed or eliminated?

I have adult acne, oily and uneven skin, with some scarring and enlarged pores. I struggle with clogged pores and picking at my acne.

You do not necessarily need to cleanse in the morning. Skipping a morning cleanse can help keep the skin more hydrated and less prone to inflammation.

I would recommend stopping the Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Alcohol Free toner and Summer Fridays CC Me Vitamin C Serum - too much irritation potential (skin suffering with acne is by definition sensitive).

I would also recommend to change the SUNDAY RILEY Luna Sleeping Retinoid Night Oil to one of those products (followed by a simple moistruizer, for example, the PM Cerave one if the serum is not moisturizing enough):

You can also try adding an azelaic acid product to your AM routine, a few options here:
