[Routine help] Tried to start a new routine - suddenly breaking out?

Before I had a very poor routine - and really, no routine. But I used a mixture of things sporadically.

I am 34F and recently I tried to establish a routine as follows:

Morning:

• CeraVe SA cleanser
• Olay age defying eye gel
• Loreal Revitalift Vitamin C serum
• Garnier Clearly Brighter SPF 30 moisturizer

Night:

• CeraVe SA cleanser
• Olay age defying eye gel
• Olay regenerist retinol 24 max serum
• Aveeno absolutely ageless night cream

I find I like all the products and am happy with how I feel throughout the day/night (but am not expert!) BUT the main thing I have noticed lately is I definitely have more acne (or acne-looking?) breakouts than ever before. They're almost entirely at nose level or below, including along the chin area.

Previously if I had something pop up I'd use clean & clear acne spot treatment, and also somewhat regularly used the st ives SA apricot scrub - but have since learned dislike over this product and physical exfoliators in general...

Is this just some weird coincidence? Something I can add/change to avoid this happening?
