[Product Question] How to decode chemicals to create a skin care routine??

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So I know next to nothing about skincare. I'm terrible at keeping up with a skincare routine but I take off my make up and wash my face.I'm shopping on Beautylish looking at The Ordinary items. I'm so confused by all the chemical names (EGCG, azelaic acid suspension, ascorbyl glucoside solution.......) that I'm about to give up. I have 7 items in my cart (below) - but I don't know how to mix and match, what order to put them in, etc. One has Vitamin C, another says don't use with products that have Vitamin C.... would I use every product every night??Any insight on how to educate myself and create a skincare routine would be SO helpful. Like, decoding what to use when or what not to mix? I've never even used oils so I'm like, "Wait, you layer oils on your face?"Products: - Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2% - Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG - 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil - Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% - Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% - Salicylic Acid 2% SolutionRight now I use Simple cleansing micellar water to remove make up, I'll wash my face with either Acure Sensitive Facial Cleanser or Pore Clarifying Facial Scrub (with a Clarisonic), Oxy Daily Defense Cleansing Pads after bikram yoga/after washing my face, a toner if I remember to use it (rarely), and I just ran out of Kenzoki moisturizer so I've been using a drugstore brand.Someone told me my skin is dry and "produces oil because it's dry" (idk) - so it gets dry if I don't moisturize but I get shiny/oily through my makeup on my T-zone and cheeks throughout the day. I get cystic pimples randomly, usually from bikram yoga or stress or hormones. My bigger problems are texture, small blind pimples, and some hyperpigmentation.I've seen a dermatologist multiple times and they ALWAYS turn me away saying "Oh, it's not that bad." Like, what? I may not have "acne" but I definitely don't have good skin. (I'm 24 by the way.) Literally the last time I went he just shrugged and told me to wear make up.Help!
