Clinique order of application and fine line advice

I use the 3 step but have just ordered some wrinkle cream for my eyes and have some superdefense night cream too and some moisture surge eye stuff that were in the bonus time gift bags. I can't seem to find any info on when to use them in relation to the 3 step. Do I use the eye stuff before or after the dramatically different moisturiser? Do I use the superdefense in addition to or instead of the DD? I noticed today that my laughter lines are more noticeable than before (when I smile) and that I have lines around my mouth when I grin too. Must stop grinning. My skin is noticeably dry though at the moment so I'm hoping some extra moisturising will help. I drink at least 2 litres of water a day, two cups of tea, don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, veggie and eat healthily. I'm 44 and have decent skin usually with no visible lines so I'm a little upset at how crinkly I am when I all out smile Sad
What else can I do to help? I'm blaming lockdown. I've developed more white hairs since March too Sad

Eye cream before moisturiser.
The night cream is just a heavier moisturiser than the DD so use it instead, or alternate.
Clinique 3 step is probably not doing much for your skin. It's formulated for problem blemish prone isn't it?
You need serums. A hyaluronic acid, a vitamin C. An acid toner.

Seems a lot of things for skin that's usually decent and just dry at the moment. It's a lot better this morning after an overnight mask so I'm hoping that if I am more religious with night time skin care that it will not get so dry again.

The clarifying lotion contains alcohol which damages skin. There are not really any active ingredients in dramatically different moisturiser.

There are some good Clinique products but not those two.
