What should I stop using now sun is out? Retinol etc

I have very very very fair skin that is sun sensitive and if I’m not careful I get hyper pigmentation patches (slowly trying to treat a big patch near my eye that I got when I stupidly went out a couple of sunny mornings in Feb without usual sunscreen)

Now that it’s sunnier and I’m spending more time in the garden with housebound DC I think I need to stop using my (light) retinol (indeed Labs) at night and my glycolic acid serum in the morning?

The one I really don’t know about is my Vit C product (an oil I use at night either on top of the retinol or just instead of it.) Does Vit C increase sun sensitivity? I don’t know what other night product I would use tbh, it’s a really great oil!

I will miss these products for a few months as they’re great for my skin but I don’t want to make it any more sun sensitive!!

I use a daily mineral sunscreen of spf 50 no matter what (apart from the mornings I forgot last month and went for a run without it 🤬)

Thank you for your help!!
