What criteria should I use when choosing home care products?

As I try to maintain a consistent skincare routine at home instead of going to the dermatologist, I'm finding myself increasingly concerned about which home care products to choose. With so many home care products on the market—cleansers, serums, creams, and masks—it's overwhelming, but I'm not sure how to compare them based on their ingredients. I'm especially curious about which home care products will be truly effective for my sensitive or easily irritated skin. I've heard that home care products for my evening routine and those for my morning routine have different purposes, but is that really true? I'd also like to know if I should switch home care products based on the season or my skin condition, and if so, what criteria should I use to guide my decisions. If you have any practical recommendations for home care products that will make a noticeable difference to my skin with consistent use, and any tips for using them, I'd love to hear more.
