I want to use retiol but which is the best one? How do I use? Anyone help

[Lemonslices]

So I'm being bombarded by social media about using a retinol in my skin care.

Currently I'm using micellar water to clean my skin and every other day I'm using a salicylic face wash to help with my spot prone skin followed by a standard moisturer.
I DO NOT use a sunscreen (please don't come for me), it seems to give me horrendous acne and
I've gone through years of 100s of products and what I'm doing now keeps my skin from breaking out.
When I go out I always wear a hat that covers my face and I never sunbathe and always find the shade

However I'm 29 now and social media and the beauty industry is making me feel guilty for not including a retinol and not wearing suncream.

I've herd retinol helps fine lines and improves skin and even helps acne.
I do know that If I use it I need a sun screen.

Can anyone offer me advice on what I should do and what products are good.

Hi, I've just started using retinol products. So my evening routine on a retinol day (twice a week) is to double cleanse- 1st with oil then 2nd one milk based , pixi retinol toner, the inkey list Hyaluronic acid serum, the inkey list retinol serum, the inkey list retinol eye cream then followed by Manuka doctor night cream. I'm hoping for good results but I've only started using it a couple of weeks ago. There's lots of good brands out there but depends on your budget really.
