[Routine help] How can you tell the difference between congestion and texture from overexfoliation/damaged barrier?!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I suffer from a LOT of texture especially on my forehead and on the lower part of my face along my chin/jawline. I extract most of what I can quite frequently but I feel like my pores are just constantly clogged. I’m not sure if my skin barrier is damaged from using a lot of exfoliations. I used to use a salicylic acid cleanser daily + an 10% AHA serum every 2-3 days as I thought it would help with the congestion but I thought maybe it could be overdoing it and the texture comes from overexfoliating. I feel like I’ve tried so many options and not much has helped. Should I be upping my acids or switching them around or should I be dialling it back? My skin doesnt feel sensitive or irritated but sometimes I notice I do have redness all over even though I am quite brown. My skin is also quite oilyMy current routine is: Farmacy clean bee cleanser (was previously using glow recipe blueberry cleanser)MUJI tonerSOME BY MI yuja niacinGlow recipe watermelon moisturiser (AM only)Cancer council matte sunscreen (AM only)Innisfree green tea seed cream (PM only)La roche posay cicaplast baume (PM only)I exfoliate once maybe twice a week now with either Isntree 8% AHA essence or glow recipe watermelon mask. I also cleanse every night with a cleansing oil and so many oil plugs come out every night!! It’s so weird to me how my skin is constantly clogged and I’m not sure if I’m even using the right things anymore :( please help
