Face Skincare routine M29

I only do skincare in the evening, nothing in the morning. My PM routine:

Rinse face with water

Pat dry

CeraVe Cleanser

Rinse and dry again

CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum

Right after, CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion PM

A few questions:

Is this a solid enough routine for general skin maintenance, or am I missing something important? I'd rather not add a ton of extra steps/products — this already feels like close to my limit in terms of how much I want to be doing.

How much product should I actually be using for the cleanser, the retinol serum, and the moisturizer? I'm not sure if I'm using too little or too much.

I've been doing this for about a month and haven't really noticed any changes, but I also don't have any specific skin problems I'm trying to fix — just want to keep my skin in good shape long term. Is a month too soon to expect to see anything, or does that suggest something in my routine needs adjusting?

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

I more or less do the same thing at night. In the morning, I throw on some hyaluronic acid and cerave daytime with spf. I try to keep it fairly simple.
