Skincare routine for student/budget for Oily-Combi, Sensitive, Acne-prone skin for living in Singapore/ASEAN countries?

I need some help with my routine and it’ll be much appreciated if you can recommend some other types of cleanser, toner, serum, sunscreen, moisturiser, cream, mask that you think would help with my skin type and can fit a student’s budget (each product not more than SGD$20/USD$15)❤️ Context: I don’t use much makeup, just sunscreen and sunstick(Aquabalm) by Kahi to top up over the course of the day and Banila Co Color Splash Water tint. My cleansing and skincare routine consists of Merythod Deep cleansing oil, somebymi cleanser and toner (Acne line), Axis-y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, and this cream by Citra? Idk but after using the cleansing oil though it’s effective in like removing the clogged pores and some dead skin parts, it feels like certain areas that have active acne underneath (the dark red/brown spots) are very dry/slightly hard. When I proceed with the next few steps after the cleansing oil, my face stings badly… Idk exactly where it went wrong? Is it when I’m using the cleansing oil for too long and stripping off my layer of skin? Can I hear you thoughts on how to save my skin? I’ll appreciate if you can recommend some other types of cleanser, toner, serum, sunscreen, moisturiser, cream, mask that you think would help with my skin type and can fit a student’s budget (each product not more than SGD$25/USD$18) Can you also teach on steps/order of which to apply makeup and give recommendations on some foundations that can match my skin tone as I’m very confused on it, I bought Merythod foundation in the shade of pure beige the darker shade of the 2 and I still look like a ghost because it’s too pale..… PS: Can you follow my IG and TikTok Account, I’ll follow you back too 🥺(I might be slightly busy but I’ll follow you back within 3-5days)! It’ll be much appreciated as a newbie in this community if you do follow ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and can I tag you for some giveaways if you followed?

Makeup steps: Note: Preferably, you should do your skincare routine before your makeup routine so your makeup can be applied much more smoothly 1) Skincare Routine 2) Sunscreen 3) Foundation 4) Concealer 5) Setting spray 6) Powder That's your makeup routine for your base. After that, you can do anything. E.g. mascara, brows, lips. I'll give a list of some of my top makeup products. Bear in mind that they come in different shades not just the shade shown.

For skincare, I've recommended these 3 products as they are quite soothing. The moisturiser is a re-barrier cream which is good for those who might have acne. The toner is green tea which is soothing for the skin.

I have a killer cleanser that is around that price point, it may me a touch over... Innisfree volcanic bha pore cleansing foam (Here in Canada it's like $18 so maybe $14-15 usd) Other acne/blemish products that are both effective, non-stripping or damaging AND that price point; I honestly don't have any others right now but I'm looking at and for similar options but not quite as restrictive as that price point. In Canada we do not have much in the way of non-mainstream k or j beauty actually available in store or with free shipping (Sephora and ulta have klairs, innisfree, laneige, belif, Dr jart, tatcha, shiseido etc- none of which other than klairs and select innisfree are a competitive price). Amazon Canada of course has some of these options (not even all the selection of products that us Amazon has, and to order in Canada from us Amazon the shipping is OBSCENE and I'm literally 20 min from my buffalo po box. As well the conversion is a complete rip off. I rarely order anything off of Amazon Canada and if I buy off us Amazon I do not ship it to my Canada address! It's horrible)
