Navigating massive sample overload - hybrid post of haul, routine and advice

Hope it's okay that I started a new thread, as it's really not a specific question and also a bit of a hybrid haul/routine/advice post. First time I'm posting outside of comments/daily help threads, so I'm a little nervous. :)

Soooo I'm three or four months into my AB adventure, and while I've settled into a very basic routine, which I'll share in a second, I've been looking to add more, switch things up and really improve my skin. Since I started, my skin is softer, tighter and quite a bit less splotchy, but I feel my pores are a bit too visible and I also have still have what I can only describe as a smattering of tiny, flat red spots. They're not noticeable unless you're right up on my face, but it is my goal to demolish them.

In search of some new additions, I read about the eopenmarket lucky/secret boxes and decided that'd give me a good range of products to test out. Well, it arrived today, and... I'm a bit overwhelmed. I am definitely going to search the sub for each of the products, but I am posting this with a few objectives. One, I thought a product list might help people who are considering getting the box decide. Two, I need to share this overwhelmingly insane photo! And three, I'm hoping some of you all might be able to fill me in on whether there's anything, based on my current routine, I should go ahead and try first, or wait on, or give away and not bother with.

Here's my current routine:

AM * Hada Labo gokujyun foaming cleanser
* Skinfood peach sake toner * Stridex maximum strength BHA wipes (non AB) * Had been using Skinfood gold caviar emulsion as moisturizer, but now that summer is over I've been using Previse hydrating milk cream (non AB) * Missha all-around safe block essence sun SPF 45/PA+++

PM * Kose softymo oil cleanser
* Hada Labo gokujyun foaming cleanser * Skinfood peach sake toner * Stridex maximum strength BHA wipes (non AB) * Cosrx AHA (2-3 times a week) * Same moisturizer situation as AM
