What can I add to my skincare regime?

I am mid 30's and trying to add some actives to my very basic skincare routine. My main concerns are sun protection; minimising the signs of ageing and some very mild acne scarring. I do have quite sensitive skin.

Currently my regime consists of:
AM squalene cleanser
Moisturising factors (both The
Ordinary)
Heliocare factor 50 spf or Elta MD
factor 50

PM: squalene cleaner
Cerave PM moisturiser or Trilogy
rosehip oil

Twice a week The Ordinary AHA+BHA peeling solution.
What could I add in next?
Thank you so much Smile

Maybe a retinol, Paulas Choice 1% is very good. Or The Ordinary 2% Emulsion

Vitamin C in the morning! It's 'brightening', evens skin tone and increases the efficacy of sunscreen.
Retinol in the evening. It's worth putting some good research in so you can get one which works with your skin type but it's the best thing I've ever done for my skin. I really like Skinceuticals.

Second vitamin C in the AM, I love it.

I’d also say you could use a tonic- maybe Pixi? I ADORE Alpha H liquid gold but you might struggle if you have sensitive skin?

Do you really need anything else.?if you start too many products your face won't thank you.

You should use a toner after washing and before moisturizer, I use Thayers.
I would also use a moisturizer in the am that includes vitamin c and a retinol moisturizer in the pm
