can someone help me stack these facial products

[TENGINOTHESECOND]

Hi I'm completely new to skincare and I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the information online

These are the products I currently have:

Oral minoxidil 2.5 mg
Tretinoin 0.025%
Tretinoin 0.05%
Azelaic acid 20%
Azelaic acid 15%
Adapalene 0.1%
Estriol cream 1%
Hydroquinone 4%

I'd really appreciate help creating a beginner friendly routine

Could someone explain:

• What order I should apply each product (what goes first, second, etc.)?
• Which products should be used in the morning and which at night?
• Do I need a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen with these products? If so, when should I use them?
• Which products can be used together, and which ones shouldn't be mixed?
• How many times per week should I use each product?
• How should I slowly introduce the stronger products to avoid irritation?
• How much of each product should I use each time (for example, how many drops, pumps, or a pea-sized amount)?
• Should I wait between applying different products? If so, how long?
• Could someone suggest a simple Monday–Sunday routine showing exactly what to use every morning and every evening?
• If there are any products I should avoid using on the same day, please let me know.
• Are there any beginner mistakes I should avoid or tips that would help me get the best results?

I'm looking for a detailed, step by step routine because I'm completely new to skincare and want to use everything safely and effectively. I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you!

There's quite a lot of guides on the forum regarding skincare.

Here's what I'd recommend in the meantime while you do your research.

First week (3 days, Mon, Thurs)
Then after do every 2 days - Mon, Wed, etc.

Morning
Shower
Niacinamide (If you don't have dw, just good bc extra hydration)
Azelaic Acid 15% (Wait for dry face)

SPF MOISTURISER (Wait 8-10 mins)

Or

Moisturiser --> SPF 50+

Night
Cleanser
Adapalene 0.1% (Wait for dry face)
Moisturiser

Use pea-sized for Azelaic and Adapalene.

Go do your own research, not going to spoon feed you everything like a little kid.
