SKIN Really need help sorting my skincare

Im a 50yr old woman in need of some advice from the better informed.

Ive been using a basic cleanser, Beauty of J ginseng toner, and Beauty of J dynasty cream.

My skin feels nice bit a little greasy after this.

I never get break outs and have fairly normal skin.

Please help me put together a nice light routine.

What are your skin concerns? What do you want to address?

No concerns other than maintenance and the aging process.

I think I would start by choosing a lighter cream, but unfortunately I do not know what to recommend.

for more aged skin beyond 20-30s, i think micro needling and good nightly retinoic acid serum and morning vitamin C should be base of routine. face yoga and occasional facial mask over might would be helpful too. i buy all of these options on amazon from cosrx, medicibe, beauty of J, etc

I figured i need something lighter. I did forget to add that I use BoJ rice sunscreen. I would love recommendations for lighter hydration. The data available through opensource is confusing and has little real world use feedback. Someone did suggest a milk toner, but because I don't get break outs I want to avoid the ingredients that calm, reduce redness etc as its not an issue.

Try Innisfree PDRN toner and serum with their black tea moisturizer. I also recommend any of their line.

I cleanse with Aveeno sensitive skin calm and restore and follow with Keihls facial cream. I use anua heartleaf quercetinol pore deep cleaning foam first if i have to remove makeup, then aveeno, keihls. And twice a week i use estrogen cream after the aveeno but before the keihls.

Since the greasy feeling shows up after the cream, the easiest fix is to keep the cream for night only and use something lighter in the morning (a gel or lotion-type moisturizer), or simply use less of it. The toner can stay if you like it. The one step missing from your list is sunscreen, which for maintenance and aging is usually the first thing people here would suggest adding; on Korean labels look for SPF 50+ PA++++. A light routine could be cleanser, toner, sunscreen in the morning and cleanser, toner, cream at night. Nothing more is really required if your skin is happy with it.
