In the morning, I use both glycolic acid and Vitamin C serum. I just wanted to double check that I was using them in the right order. So far I have been putting on the glycolic first, followed by the Vit C. Any reason I should change that? |

Oooh... I'd like to know the answer to this too.
I'm not using a glycolic yet, but I plan to add one eventually.
Also--if anyone has thoughts on the order of Vit C, HA, and a spot treatment that would be great. |

I put the acid on first then the serum. I wait 30 min. though so that the exfoliation isn't interrupted. I feel that it makes the benefits of the serum more active. |

I would like to use them so the AHA is first and then the C but my skin doesn't seem to be able to tolerate that very well. I have read that the AHA will get rid of the dead skin so the C can penetrate even more deeply into your skin though. |

I use them separately, but I'd be putting the AHA on first, waiting for a bit for it to sink in, and then applying the vit C. |
