In what order should I use these products?

So, I was bored last Saturday night and after spending hours on Youtube looking at endless beauty vids I ended up making a 1am purchase of these three items and now have no idea in which order to use them!
I do have some regular moisturiser and a serum in my cupboard too so not sure if they should be used at the same time?
Do I use the hyaluronic acid first, then a serum and moisturiser? Does the retinol go on after or before or only used a few times a week instead of something else?
And I can’t bloody remember what the rose hip seed oil was for?
Anyone have a clue?

I would use the retinol at night x2 a week for 2 weeks and then increase x3 etc so your skin can tolerate. On the days you are not using the retinol I would use the rose oil at night. And use the hyaluronic acid every morning on damp skin before you moisture.
cleanse serum/oil/retinol moisturiser !

This is just my suggestion x

Thanks violetrosemummy I’ll try that.

For a morning routine, I would cleanse, hyaluronic acid onto lightly damp skin, then a simple moisturiser. Finish with a facial sunscreen, as if you're using retinol in your routine, your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun, and sun exposure is one of the main causes of premature ageing.

For an evening routine, I would cleanse, hyaluronic acid onto lightly damp skin, let it dry, then retinol serum. Let that dry, then moisturiser, then finish with the oil. Generally speaking, oils can penetrate moisturiser, but moisturiser can't penetrate oil.

PP is correct that you could do the retinol a couple of times a week to start with. Personally, I was fine using it nightly from the get go, but see how you go.
