I don't use any product other than a sugar scrub in the shower, and a basic scented lotion on my legs, elbows, and face after the shower.

The only one my face seems to tolerate now(though I have not tried coconut oil) is Olay Total Effects without sunscreen (when I can find it). I use Eucerna or Aveno for my hands and body, which is a bit less sensitive.
I also like goats milk soaps.

Wish I could use other less expensive products but my allergies just won't let me. Way too many things break me out so it's double the $$ anyway. If I end up allergic to Clinique or don't like a new product, I can return it for a refund or try something else. I really only buy products about twice a year.
Right now, though, I am looking for a good eye makeup remover. Thought I could find one cheaper than the Clinique one although it is very good (for me). Haven't found anything yet though since I don't want to buy something I can't return.

I have used Clinique Eye Makeup Remover for many years & love it. However, 2 yrs ago my Eye Dr told me to stop using it and use Baby Shampoo. Told me to even dilute it 1/2 shampoo & 1/2 water if I wanted. We need to get our eye lashes and eye lids close to the lash line extremely clean or you can get little mite like things. I forget the name but it can cause lash loss. Scared me so I went right over & bought a bottle of Baby Shampoo. Shared with my DD as a bottle will last forever.
I have extremely dry skin mainly on my body. I use Lancome products on my face and Vaseline to moisturize my legs & arms. Original Eucerin Cream helps a lot also. I bought a pr of softening gloves and soak my hands either in cream or vaseline and sleep with my gloves on. My hands look great.
I am 58 and used to slather on baby oil & lie in the sun. Need to have some places removed now due to this horrid thang of wanting to be so tan. I have a fair complexion and have to use a foundation to smooth out the brown spots or splotchy places on my face. I do stay out od the sun as much as possible, I do not have many wrinkles Thank the Lord but I do have to always use a moisturizer after I wash. I have tried Avon, Mary Kay, Estee Lauder, Clinique, ever OTC brand out there and Lancome is the best foundation for me. Please you young women.....Take good care of your skin!!! Forget being a tan goddess. Protect your skin from all elements. You will be so thankful when you hit your mid years.
