I just started a skincare routine. I have basic combo skin that has early signs of aging and some discoloration/light melasma..I have a bunch of products and am not sure in which order to use them. I want to do microneedling once a month (very light). I have Dennis Gross glycolic pads that I love, I have a good retinol for sensitive skin that I also love, nighttime moisturizer, daytime moisturizer with SPF, and Skinceuticals Pherulic serum.

How do I combine/alternate the dennis gross pads and the retinol, do i need anything other than moisturizer at night after those? Should Skinceuticals Vit C be used at night or morning? Is there anything else I am missing from my routine? Thank you!
