Routine Help

Hey, r/skincareaddiction!

Here's my nightly routine. Please help. I LOVE skincare, and want to know what to add to my routine. I'd also love some advice on what to do in the mornings.

  1. Garnier Clean Nourishing Cleansing Oil - one to two pumps, then rinsed with water
  2. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser or Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser - Usually the CeraVe, but the Boscia when I'm feeling indulgent (probably 2x a week.) - One small-ish pump, lathered, rinsed, then gently dried.
  3. Boscia Exfoliating Peel Gel - Once a week I use this on my whole face. 2-3 more time a week I use it on my problem spots (chin, nose, and this weird bumpy line on my cheek.) Small pump for each area, rinse, pat dry.
  4. Masks! Lately Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Repairing Mask - I apply this in a thin layer over most of my face, then let it sit while I use the bathroom, floss, and brush my teeth. Then I rinse and pat dry. (Other masks discussed later.)
  5. Murad Essential C Toner - Is this where I should do toner? I spray it 2-3 times on my face, then use my fingers to spread it around. I know nothing about toner, so I'm confused about this step.
  6. Shiseido Ibuki Multi Solution Gel - I spread a thin layer of this over my entire face, focusing on my cheeks. Again, not sure what this really does, but it feels nice.
  7. Ole Henricksen Truth Serum - Tiny pump tapped into my forehead, focusing on my wrinkle.
  8. Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Correcting Eye Cream - patted around eyes with ring finger, and a little put on that forehead wrinkle.
  9. Been using samples of this, but probably going to buy the full size (so I'd love feedback. Is this one good; what's better?): First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream - Generous amount applied all over face.
  10. Laneige Water Sleeping Pack - Small amount applied just to cheeks, on top of the sleeping cream.

On my super lazy, sleepy nights I just do steps 1, 2, and 9. In the mornings I pretty much do nothing, except occasionally step 2.

Other products I use: I love masks. I use a lot of different Freeman masks. I have ~8 different ones. I also have Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C Petal Peel, but I only use it once a month or so, since it can be a little harsh. I own other moisturizers (CeraVe, Cetaphil, Shiseido, Clinique, etc.) And other cleansers (Cetaphil, Clinique.) And a few random things, like Julep Restorative Facial Milk, Garnier dark spot treatment, etc. But I don't use those almost ever.

What products/steps should I add? Any products I should replace with something better? What should I do in the mornings?

My concerns: my skin is fairly sensitive, and my cheeks tend to get/stay red. I don't have acne, but I get rough bumps and clogged pores. I have normal to dry skin, with very little natural oil. Here's an album with pictures of my skin.

Thanks in advance!
