I'd stop the Indie Lee toner because it contains essential oils that can trigger rosacea. The same goes for the Maelove serum (it contains a good ingredient for skin brightening - ascorbic acid - but, unfortunately, also irritants that can be triggering for rosacea). I'd also skip the Herbivore mask, and switch your cleanser to a fragrance-free product (e.g. to this onehttps://whatsinmyjar.com/product/neutrogena-hydro-boost-gentle-cleansing-lotion or https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/avene-tolerance-extreme-cleansing-lotion) for the same reason.

Instead, in the AM routine, you could add an azelaic acid & niacinamide product - it can help calm down the inflammation and help with rosacea. Example: https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/touch-skin-care-bright-clear-cream

I would also recommend to switch your retinol product and stop Stratia Liquid Gold. The cream you are using from Olay contains a formaldehyde-releasing preservative DMDM Hydantoin, and it can be irritating to rosacea-prone skin. Stratia Liquid Gold contains another formaldehyde-releasing preservative Diazolidinyl Urea. You can use the Touch Skin Care Bright & Clear Cream twice daily instead (so it would go instead of Stratia liquid gold in your PM routine).

As for a retinoid product, I'd recommend something with retinal - it is probably the least irritating effective retinoid. An example product: https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/avene-retrinal-0-1-intensive-professional-cream. It would go instead your current Olay Retinol moisturizer
