application order

[pumpkin]

I have recently added new products to me regimen and I'm not sure what order I should be applying them.

In the morning I use a cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer. Is that the order I should apply them?

In the evening I cleanse, then also use a toner, Paula's Choice BHA, a vitamin and anti-oxidant serum, and moisturizer. What order should these be applied in?

TIA

Your morning routine is fine! Your evening routine depends on what type of toner and serum you are using. Toners that are pH balancing come before actives, but moisturizing toners come after. And if your serum is a vitamin C (L-AA) serum then it should be applied before the BHA.

Um, the toner is this:

and the serum is this:

pumpkin The toner looks like a hydrating one so I'd probably move that to after the BHA and then follow it with the serum and moisturizer. Oh and don't forget your sunscreen in the mornings!

I think your order looks good. I use a toner that might be considered moisturizing and have always used it before BHA and it's been fine.

My order:
Toner, BHA, antioxidant serum mixed with facial oil, then moisturizer. Daytime with SPF, nighttime without.

sporky & tiramisu, thanks for your input and for the sunscreen reminder in the morning. I finally found a sunscreen product I love and definitely use it in the am too.

I always do toner, even a hydrating one, immediately after cleansing and before any serums and it's been fine. I alternate between an exfoliating toner and a hydrating one.
