You don't need both. If you're already using a vitamin C serum in the morning, this replaces that step and adds exfoliation on top. Or alternate the two, using this on the mornings when you want exfoliation.

At cosmetic concentrations in a daily lotion format, glycolic acid is unlikely to cause significant irritation in most skin types. Sensitive, rosacea-prone, or reactive skin may still find it too active for daily use. Start every other day and assess your skin.

An AHA toner is typically applied and swept over the skin. This is a lotion you massage in and leave on, which also provides a moisturising step alongside the exfoliation. The three active ingredients mean it does more work in fewer steps.
