[Routine Help] Years of passively trying to control my acne, need help getting a serious routine.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi, I'm 26 and have been dealing with acne pretty much since high school. I think the best my skin as ever looked was probably around 20 when I was using maybe Benzaclin and Antibiotic pills. But as soon as I finished with the pills and the cream, it came right back over the years.Recently I've been really conscious of my acne, it seems to have gotten worse so I'm here trying to figure it out.This is what it looks like.Current Routine: I have been using Benzac W Wash topical for 8+ months once or twice a day. I didn't use to moisturize but recently started to. I bought Cerave Tub and PM. The Tub broke me out, I still use PM. I bought Tea Tree Oil recently and started applying almost daily using a cotton swab mixed with water. I used BenzalGel 5 here and there for spots on cheeks but I rarely use it now since I don't see any improvement. I didn't/don't have a steady routine, other then washing my face daily with Benzac W, everything else is mostly sporadic.Anyways, after reading on here I got:a prescription for Retin-A (0.04%)Benzaclin.Biore KAO AQUA RICH Sarasara SPF50+ PA++++ SunscreenOST C20 serum, really trying to clear my PIH (big issue given skin tone)Alpha Skin Care Essential Renewal Gel 10% Glycolic AHACerave Foaming Facial Cleanser...I might have over done it.So yea, I have all this stuff now (still need a Moisturizer!) and I don't really now what would be the most affective usage AM/PM.Also when does PM count? Is it after work when I'm done with the gym and I've showered (so around 6/7pm) or at night before I got to sleep?
