early 30s, hormonal acne and rosacea

I take OCs and spironolactone for acne. I’ve been on different OCs since I was a 17 and just started spiro July 2024: 50mg first then went up to 100mg 2 weeks later, then 125mg Nov 2024, currently on 150mg (Jan 2025)

Goals:
1. learn how to manage hormonal acne (spiro seems like the main answer so far)
2. learn how to manage rosacea
3. reduce pores
4. find and learn how to do makeup that works for my skin and looks good on me
5. find a moisturizer that actually moisturizes and doesn't contribute to acne or rosacea
6. find an spf that looks good and doesn't contribute to acne or rosacea
7. find hair products that keep my hair healthy and looking good and also don't contribute to acne or rosacea.
8. same re body moisturizer and wash (i get a lot of redness on my upper arms especially)

Recommendations always appreciated!
