Skincare Routine Advice

Based on your current routine and concerns, here is some advice regarding your questions:

1. Changing Toner

Yes, changing to Timed-Released BHA Toner specifically for the clogged pores on your nose ("strawberry nose") is a good approach. BHA is effective at exfoliating inside pores, which helps with congestion. You can continue using your Witch Hazel Toner with Green Tea Extract EGCG and Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) Extract on the rest of your face if you find it beneficial for those areas.

2. Application Order and Waiting Time

Your proposed application order is correct:

• Timed-Released BHA Toner (apply only to areas with clogged pores, like the nose)
• Vitamin C E Ferulic Pre-Mix Kit
• Ultra Light Serum (containing ingredients like Glucosamine, Alpha-Arbutin, Vitamin B5, Bisabolol, Licorice Root Extract, Vitamin B3, and Matrixyl 3000)

Regarding waiting time between steps, especially after applying Vitamin C, it is generally recommended to wait for the product to fully absorb and dry. For a Vitamin C product like the Vitamin C E Ferulic Pre-Mix Kit, waiting about 1 hour before applying the next product is advisable. This allows the Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) to work effectively at its optimal pH. For other steps, you can usually wait until the product feels absorbed, typically a few minutes.

3. Vitamin C E Ferulic Pre-Mix Kit Waiting Time

Yes, the Vitamin C E Ferulic Pre-Mix Kit is similar to other Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) products that benefit from a waiting period before applying subsequent products. As mentioned above, waiting around 1 hour is recommended to ensure the Vitamin C is fully absorbed and stable before layering other products.
