Need help refining my routine

I'd like to reduce redness, add in a good sunblock, add in more antiaging stuff, reduce dark spots, and add an eye cream. I have very sensitive skin and am prone to breakouts. I have started to develop dark spots on my cheeks -- I have very fair skin too, so looking for a dark spot treatment as well. I'm also super picky about scents and can't do anything with really manufactured or heavy scents, prefer botanicals and light floral scents (but do really like a good scent, just can't be over powering).

I think niacinamide might be a good active for you, since it targets multiple problems you have: it evens skin tone, is anti-aging and reduces irritations and blemishes. I also think it's well tolerated (unless in very high doses). I use a serum from Typology (a French brand), but The Ordinary has a similar one. The serum doesn't have a scent.
