Are there any actives in either of these products that cant be used after daily AHA or BHA lotions?+

Skinactives Lets Make Collagen Serum:

Distilled Water, Sea Kelp Bioferment, Sodium PCA, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Pomegranate Extract, Natural Active Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, L-Carnosine, Boswellia Serrata, Niacinamide, N-Acetyl Glucosamine, Centella Asiatica, Horse Chestnut Extract, Betulinic Acid, Green Tea EGCG, Epidermal Growth Factor BT, Propylene Glycol (and) Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Methylparaben (and) Propylparaben

Skinactives Twilight (Retinyl) Cream:

Water, jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) seed oil, sea kelp bioferment, niacinamide, sorbitol, butylene glycol, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, stearyl alcohol, sesame (Sesamum indicum) seed oil, sweet almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) oil, avocado (Persea gratissima) oil, allantoin, natural active peptides, retinyl acetate, carnosine, sodium hyaluronate, coconut endosperm, Tetrahydrocurcuminoids, pomegranate (/Punica granatum/) seed oil (and) astaxanthin (and) lycopene (and) alpha-D-tocopherol (and) tocotrienols (and) lutein (and) thioctic acid, polysorbate 20, citric acid, dimethicone, carbomer, triethanolamine, diazolidinyl urea, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, propylparaben.

I use Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Cream (10 percent Glycolic/AHA) one night, alternated with Paulas Choice BHA Gel (2 percent Salicylic) the next night.

Can i use the above 2 products after either of these mild acid products? Or would the BHA/AHA react badly with any of the active ingredients in the Skinactives Collagen Serum or Twilight Vitamin A Cream?

Please advise, as i dont have space in my regime to use these products in the morning and really want to use them regularly together, layered if possible.
