Very exciting! Don’t start them all at once though, your skin won’t know what’s hit it and you won’t be able to tell what’s working for you and what (if anything) is causing a reaction.
I’d just choose one - I’d go for the moisturiser + HA, but it depends on which you’re most excited to try - and try it every morning for a couple of weeks before adding the next one. I don’t use the specific products you’ve gone for so I can’t advise on a routine, but the Internet is full of excellent detailed reviews to help you figure out when and how to use each one.

I would recommend watching a few youtube videos by Nadine Baggott - she is very informative. Can't remember if she has done an Ordinary specific video but she definitely has a few on acids / evening routines / layering products etc.

Just make sure you are using a good SPF once you start on any acids and retinols.

With what you've bought there, this would be the order, I think:

AM
Caffeine on eyes
Buffet everywhere
NMF

PM
Caffeine on eyes
Buffet everywhere
Then alternate LA and the Retinoid, introducing them gradually

I would also order their Hyalauronic Acid to use before Buffet both am and pm; and also a Vitamin C to alternate with LA and Retinoid.

Lastly, note that you must use sunscreen the day after using a Retinoid, and never use it in the morning.
