I think you should wait a few days inbetween Sajal, I also think you should avoid astringents and toners with alcohol too.

I am glad you said that, probably time for me to take a break from my toner.

I have never used RA and glycolic cream on the same night. On nights I apply RA, that’s all I apply. In the beginning when I skin was getting used to it and getting dry/flaky in the process, I would apply Argan Oil an hour AFTER the RA was applied. But these day, I don’t do it since my skin has gotten used to it.

There is nothing wrong with applying RA and a glycolic cream on alternating nights…I’ve done this many times. Just watch for extra dryness/flakiness/redness etc. You must “listen” to your skin. If your skin can handle it…then go for it. If not, then you want to take a night off in between…like RA 1st night, moisturizers (that has NO acids, retinol etc) 2nd night, and glycolic cream 3rd night. You’ll need to develop a routine that works for your skin based on how much it can handle. But in the beginning, you may need to take it slow until the skin gets used to it.

Very useful info, thanks.
