Help please (again)

Yall have helped before and I received AMAZING input! I ditched the facewipes (I should have known better) but I never had huge issues so I thought it was working fine to a point. I began the Cerave system, doubled my moisturizer, use retinol only on my forehead once a week, and use a little silicone scrubber for my washes. I have been doing this faithfully for about 6 weeks now. What am I doing wrong still!!? My face still looks like leather to me? Is this just aging? Is this to be expected? I’m just so discouraged and I HATE taking photos because of it when this is the outcome. (36 F)
