[routine help] fine tuning for late 30s, large pores, eye wrinkles

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Longtime listener, first time caller, etc.I've played around a bit with some of the product and routine recommendations on here with some positive effect. Now I'd love your expertise on really personalizing which steps/products I should focus on. Large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, dry & oily skin. I don't really know what I'm doing but my current strategy is basically to always use products that say "hydrating" in the name :-/My current challenges are: *feels like it takes a looong time for products to soak into my skin, like they're just kind of sitting on top and being greasy. not sure if I should wait longer between steps or use different products. I get real sweaty real fast, so I think that's a factor *feel like my skin is not well hydrated, especially with the tired, crepe paper wrinkles under my eyes...but it also feels greasy at the same time. *moisturizer with SPF in the morning makes my skin look really shiny/oily. Is it? Or is that just the product? *make-up sinks into undereye lines and looks cakey *make-up also slides right off my face by midday. I often have to use a brush and some powder around lunchtime to take down shine.My Current Routine Morning *rinse while in the shower *Dickinsons Enhanced Witch Hazel Hydrating Toner most days *prescribed topical: 1% clindamycin mixed with 10% benzoyl peroxide *fan sweaty face in a panic until it seems like topical has dried/absorbed *one pump Neutrogena Hydro Boost Serum *one pump CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion with SPF30After work *remove makeup with micellar water *wash with CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, a couple times of week using Clarisonic brush *second application of 1% clindamycin & 10% benzoyl peroxide *skin often feels tight after this and I'll use some CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing LotionBefore bed *rinse with water and use Dickinson Enhanced Witch Hazel Hydrating Toner *apply prescribed .025% tretinoin cream, let it sink in for 20ish minutes *apply lots of CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion or a couple times a week this grocery store brightening overnight mask with Vit C.I have a giant tub of Eucerin original healing cream and sometimes I'll put that on if I feel really dry. But it's so heavy and I don't know if/when in the routine I should use it and what it really does.Once a week I'll usually do a deep/pore refining clay mask followed by a moisturizing sheet mask. Mostly because it's fun.Pic: no makeup post-routine/after makeup. My makeup routine could use a lot of betterment, but I don't have the time or skill to do more than bareMinerals matte foundation powder, some setting powder, and mascara.
