Assuming your goal is clear skin, prevention of signs of aging and even, bright skin tone, I think you could simplify your routine quite a bit without losing efficacy.
I would use the AHA30% peel once a week maximum (or maybe just 2x a month) and skip the Comfort Zone product alltogether, but instead go for a high-concentration ascorbic acid serum daily or every other day (depending on your tolerance) in the AM. Ascorbic acid is more effective than the vitamin C derivative in the Ordinary Ethylated Ascorbic acid serum and the Acure serum. A few good ascorbic acid products:

- https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/paulas-choice-resist-c15-super-booster (15%)
- https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/clinique-fresh-pressed-daily-booster-with-pure-vitamin-c-10 (10%)
Also, instead of using the niacinamide 10% serum, you could switch your moisturizer (both for day and night) to this https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/e-l-f-cosmetics-pure-skin-moisturizer or this https://whatsinmyjar.com/product/eltamd-pm-therapy-facial-moisturizer. If used 2x daily, you'll get the same niacinamide impact + hydration in one step.
I'd also skip the toner and go for a one-step cleanse, at least in the morning. Overcleansing is not great for skin microbiome, damages the skin barrier and can decrease your tolerance to actives. For most people, cleansing with a product one per day at night and just a splash with water to freshen up in the AM is enough.
