Which The Oridinary products should I buy for oily skin?

Hi all!

I've been in lockdown for almost 3 weeks and have noticed that my skincare products are almost finished, so I need to order a new set. I have oily skin and have been using The Ordinary brand - I've been using the daily set and would now like products that are specifically for oily skin.
I'm thinking a 3 step routine with that cool red peel thing, but don't know where to start.
Could anyone recommend the products that I should be using, please?

(Please only propose products from The Ordinary rather than other brands, I'd like to keep it simple).

Thanks in advance!

My must haves for my oily skin are the niacinamide and zinc serum, and the natural moisturising factors moisturiser.

Both products are free from oil and silicone, which are both death to my skin.

I have oily skin and swear by the glycolic toner and niacinimide. Have just started the AHA and BHA peel and that’s leaving me glowy

They have suggestions on their website and will ensure you’re combining them correctly.

I use niacinimide daily in the morning. The 2% retinol i use every other night and the moisturizing factors on the other nights

Niacinamide + zinc

Wonderful, thanks all, I've placed my order :)

I was using the niacinamide, but it always left my skin red, so the Sales Assistant suggested in try the Hylamide daily pore control (the next brand up from the ordinary). My skin is so much less irritated.

@EmpressJewel Ah thanks, I'll switch to that if this one causes me any irritation :)

Can I jump in and ask about age spots? Does anyone have specific recommendations from The Ordinary for fading brown blobs on my cheeks, like freckles joined up?

Thanks.

@IdleLiz I don't have any recommendations of products, but Feelunique has a fantastic live chat where they recommend products based on what you need and they've mostly been spot on (pun intended) for me over the past couple of years!
