Gosh...You got so many goodies there 
I would say you need to apply Vit-C serum right after the toner. I personally don't use a toner when I apply Vit-C serum because I don't want to dilute it. But, I know many others who do.
You can apply Skinceutical's Phyto+ after vit-C serum. But, make sure vit-C is totally absorbed first.
You then can apply jojoba oil as your moisturizer.
Yonka Juvenil is best for spot treatment when you have break outs.
If your skin is on the dry side then don't use Dermalogica's Micro Exfoliant more than twice a week. Also, if you can use Dr. H CC twice a day without feeling dry then its fine. Otherwise, maybe you should just use it once a day.
You can use Valmont Renewing Mask daily (a thin layer on top of a light moisturizer) or a thicker layer as mask as weekly treat.
I use Aspirin Mask every two other days but you need to see how your skin reacts to it and adjust accordingly.
Lastly, always wear sunscreen.
I don't know much about the eye products you have. Maybe others can help you with that.  |

How does this sound?
AM:
Cleanse (either Sothys or Dr H)
Tone
Vit C
Eye stuff
Phyto +
Moisturiser (either Jurlique or Jojoba)
Sunscreen
Make-up
PM:
Cleanse (either Sothys or Dr H)
Tone
Eye stuff
Phyto +
Moisturiser
Every 2-3 days:
Dermalogica Micro Exfoliant
Weekly (meaning 2 masks a week?)
Valmont Renewal Pack
Aspirin Mask
Additional questions:
1. Is Dr H ok to use twice a day? Does it cleanse like a normal cleansing agent or is it more of an exfoliant? Is it better to use at night or morn if used only once a day?
2. Is it ok to mask twice a week?
3. Sounds like i hv too much exfoliation going on? If i use exfoliant twice a week and aspirin mask once a week, thats exfoliation 3 times on top of Dr H cleasing which sort of exfoliates?
4. For spot treatment with Yonka, how to layer? Before or aft Vit C/Phyto +/moisturiser?
Thanks! |

the rountine sounds good.
Answers to some of your questions:
Dr. HCC functions more like a exfoliant. It is not meant to remove make up. It cleans out the pores. If you use Dr. H CC in the morning it would leave your skin a nice glow and you can go on with your day. If you use it at night, it helps clean out all the junks in your pores. I personally use it when I have more time. So, it usually end up in the evening.
It is ok to use mask twice a week, I think I do even more (like 4 times a week but I think I am addicted to mask  )
Whether you are over-exfolianting or not really depends on how your skin feels. I think the best way to tell is to wait couple of minutes after you washed your face. If your skin feels tight and dry then you are over doing it. Then you should slow down and paste yourself. My skin feels fine with Dr. H CC once a day and manual exfoliant like Micro Exfoliant once a week (I think this is enough exfoliation for me because I use the asprin mask often).
Lastly, I would use Yonka after C and after Phyto. I would prefer to use it at night time but that's just me.
I hope this helps... |
