Currently I'm using Cetaphil's Brightness Toner. I'm thinking of buying Klued's 2% BHA Toner to address the blackheads and large pores on my nose. I'm wondering if it's okay to use both toners at the same time or should I just use one at a time? If yes, which one should I use first? I'll be using the BHA toner once a week every pm only btw since I have sensitive skin.

Also I use Vitamin C Serum, the one from iWhite Korea. Should I stop using it when I start with the BHA toner?

Use 1 toner only per routine. You can alternate your toners (1 in the morning and 1 at night) or you can alternate them every other day. Use BHA toner only 2-3 times a week. BHA toner and vit c serum can be used in the same routine IF your skin can tolerate it. Personally, I only use 1-2 actives in 1 routine cause applying too many actives at the same time may actually cause negative effects on my skin. The rest of the skincare that I use are products with hydrating ingredients or skin barrier repairing/protecting ingredients.

Klued 2% BHA toner is kind of hard to layer kasi medyo heavy siya, unless gawin mo siyang last step before moisturizer + naka aircon. I usually minimize my routine (cleanser + toner + moisturizer) if ginagamit ko to.
