Hyaluronic Acid/Retinol/Lactic Acid. What order/how often should I use these products?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm overwhelmed at how many different forms these 3 ingredients come in. I need to know which form is the most effective, how often I should use it, and what order I should apply them in...Hyaluronic acid serum:I'm going to have to apply this first, straight after cleansing while my face is still damp, as I hear this is the most effective way to apply HA, then seal it in with a moisturizer. In the particular serum I've linked above, the hyaluronic acid is derived from a plant; does this make it any less effective than the other kind?Lactic acid 10% + glycolic acid 5% cream:Is this too strong to apply nightly? I feel like it makes the most sense to apply this before anything else, as it's an exfoliating product, then follow up with a serum and moisturizer, but like I said above, I feel like HA should be applied first while my face is still damp to be 100% effective. So would it be okay to apply this cream on top of the retinol and HA?Hyaluronic acid + lactic acid serum:I could save myself a step (and money) and get the hyaluronic acid and lactic acid in one. Would these products be more effective on their own?Lactic acid peel 25%:Instead of applying this nightly as a cream, I could use it as a chemical peel once weekly.Retinol serum 2.5%:I could use this every other night, as 2.5% seems quite strong, though I don't know if 2.5% retinol in the world of organic serums is the same as a 2.5% tretinoin prescription.Note: I have dry skin, and washing once daily at night is sufficient.
