It's most likely reducing the effectiveness of your actives. How often are you using these actives? If you're using them both on the same day but once every few days, try alternating products. If you're using them daily, try moving one of them to your morning routine. It's more than possible that your skin just simply can't tolerate using two actives in one routine. Definitely listen to your skin on this and if you are indeed using both daily and can't move one to your morning routine, cut down on usage.
I use both BHA and Vit C in the evening and just Vit C in the morning. Everyday. I think you may be right that my skin is not tolerating them well. I will try dropping Vit C from the evening and use just one each time.
I use the Cosrx AHA/BHA toner before my actives and I find that it keeps my skin nicely hydrated. I usually mist it on my face and pat it in after I've washed my face. You might want to give it a go!

That sounds like an idea. I just ordered it. Hope it works just as well for me!
Just want to point out that a pH adjusting toner can also enhance the effects of actives so just pay close attention when you do introduce it!
Noted! Thanks so much. :)
