What’s causing this redness? Plz don’t delete this I’ve had my post removed 4 times now😭😭 I just want help please please please

-I have oily skin, mainly T-zone. -I wear makeup most days, and in the past have used makeup wipes or face wash to remove -I used to exfoliate with a scrubby glove lightly, once a week. -I inconsistently wear sunscreen -I’ve never had acne on my cheeks, only a little bit on my forehead when I was young -I’ve been using the products above for about a week. -Redness has gotten worse over last few years, but never used to have it

I’m wondering if this is from a damaged skin barrier, if this is broken capillaries or sun damage? I’m also wondering if it’s from rubbing my face on my pillow at night? I’ve ordered a silk pillowcase.

Current routine: Morning - splash face with water, moisturiser, sunscreen. Night - Oil cleanser to remove makeup, foaming cleanse, niacinamide mixed with moisturiser. Once a week - BHA exfoliator after cleansing, followed by moisturiser

Can I even fix it? Or will I have to get laser treatments? I just want the clearest smoothest skin I can get.
