>redness on nose
could be anything, check with derm
>smooth looking clear skin
exfoliation + retinoids
>anti-aging
whatever boosts collagen production (high % glycolic acid peels, vitamin c, retinoids, copper peptides)
you seem to do some of these but
>Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream
>0,1% retinol
maybe try something stronger. i wouldnt expect much after using that concentration. the results also depend on your age
>Ordinary Sacchromyces Toner
i can see it being marketed as an exfoliator but i dont see any good clinical data for topical use. the one i found says it is good anti-inflammatory ingredient https://docs.bvsalud.org/biblioref/2023/07/1438336/en_v15a166.pdf
and here is one for scalp bacteria and fungal infection so not really relevant to your issues https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10520257/
does it even work for you? if yes, continue using it. if no, bin it. i would try aha (glycolic acid in particular if you dont have sensitive skin) or bha if i were you instead. or maybe pha, it is recommended here from time to time but im not that familiar with pha and dont have many products rec
>Will be going to derm too for advice.
ask for a stronger retinoid

>Just skip out on it and simply apply sunscreen after the shower?
yes. water alone for washing face in the morning is often enough unless you put a lot of things or slugged in your pm routine the day before
