Retinoid (including tretinoin) starter routine:
Morning- Cleanse- Moisturise- SPF
Evening- 1st Cleanse- 2nd Cleanse- Retinoid- Wait 20-30 minutes *- Moisturiser

this is the plan so far but i also have niacinamide serum and a eye cream which i dont know if i should use with this routine. if you need to also know the products specicially here they are.

cleanser: round lab normal and oil
moisturizer: 345 dr althea
SPF: a korean brand with spf 50
Retanoid: Tret 0.025
eye cream: Dr althea youthful eye cream
niacinamide serum: Jumiso 20% niacinamide serum

please let me know what i should do. i dont really have pimples but i want to get great skin and stop hyperpigmentation with this routine hopefully. also if i should add the other 2 products or anything else please let me know where and when

1. use isotret at night instead of tret
2. dont ever cleanse in the morning just use water instead
3. use hyaluronic acid and moisturizer in the morning/night (apply when face is dripping wet)
4. stop double cleansing, a low ph cleanser should do fine
5. stop using eye creams they suck dick
6. the only acne "combatants" you need is isotret and azelic acid
