Skincare routine help

I need help figuring out a new skincare routine. I currently do the basics and use a moisturiser with spf 15 but feel that I need to step it up after having children (and being sleep deprived)
The products I’ve found are.. hada labo gentle hydrating cleanser, Kiehls ultra facial toner, the ordinary hyaluronic acid 2%, kiehls ultra facial cream spf 30, keihls midnight recovery serum
Anyone have an experience of how good the products are? Is there enough? Too many?
I have sensitive, slightly oilier skin, tend to get spots easily and skin get quite pink on my cheeks sometimes

Why those products? I'd just cleanse, tone and moisturise at night. By tone I mean use a modern toner with AHA/BHA. I like AHA but your skin might prefer BHA. Look at Paula's Choice. I'd use a night cream rather than an oil, I like the M&S formula sleep cream.

And in the morning hyaluronic serum is fine (remember to apply to damp skin), then a day cream and then a separate SPF 50. If your skin is oily you might not need the day cream, but look at a specific SPF for face rather than a face cream with added SPF. Ultrasun, La Roche Posay and Ultraviolette are good brands.

I had pretty bad skin as a teenager and because of that I got into a pretty strict regime bc of all the products I was using. So since the age of 17/18, every night I have double cleansed, followed by toner, essence, serum, eye cream, moisturiser with sun screen during the day. Bc I got into the habit I never thought too much of it, it always took me about 25 mins to get ready for bed and I just assumed that was normal. Now, as an adult, I constantly get compliments on my skin, I hardly ever wear foundation and the woman who did my makeup at my wedding said I have the best skin she's seen and she thought I was 15 years younger than I am.

So there is definitely something to having a proper skin care regime, at the very least a good serum, eye cream and moisturizer in the evenings and definitely spf 50+ during the day.

I have just started using this serum by deviant skin care and it's by far one of the best products I've ever used. https://deviantskincare.com/products/pigmentation-corrector-serum?variant=39708898951235&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=21018042605&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw2Je1BhAgEiwAp3KY79Wr-B2RfubEvaNORGpypq96qaRtOHr64_lTehBOG9sMNTl5oNsi5hoC7k8QAvD_BwE. I don't really have pigmentation, but it's great for just overall brightening.
