Not sure about your skincare order Here is a clear approach Start with a gentle cleanser Then apply serums in a light to heavy sequence Then seal with a moisturizer and finish with sunscreen in the morning If you use retinol serum apply it only at night after cleansing and before moisturizer In the morning vitamin C serum can go on after cleansing and toning followed by moisturizer and SPF Niacinamide can be used either in the morning or at night depending on tolerance

Keep it simple Start with cleanser then serum then moisturizer and sunscreen in the day If you have retinol serum begin with one night per week and increase as your skin adapts In the morning apply vitamin C serum then niacinamide before moisturizer and finish with SPF

If you wear actives try not to overload the skin When a new product is added wait a week to see how your skin reacts A common pattern is vitamin C serum in the morning Niacinamide afterwards then moisturizer and SPF At night retinol serum after cleansing and before moisturizer

[MarkZM]

Two week test plan Start with a basic set cleanser vitamin C serum niacinamide moisturizer and SPF In the evening add retinol serum twice a week and monitor irritation If all good you can move to nightly use

Need a personalized order check Tell me what products you have and your skin type Then I map a simple order and suggest a safe combo with retinol serum vitamin C serum and niacinamide so you can fix a routine that actually works
