I usually do Super Serum in the morning, because I do AHA Toner at night and the two react.

If you use AHA toner at all, you need to use Super Serum at a different application.

I do acids at night and SS in the morning, but I don't think it really matters! Although all the antioxidants will have more to defend against in the daytime?

i've been harshed by super serum on occassion and don't use it very often now, but my 2-cents would be to use the harshest thing (acids) at night just in case you get red faced- then you can sleep it off and let your skin mellow out.

Assuming you haven't had that issue with super serum, i guess whenever you like so long as you're not mixing it with anything that reacts.

Whenever you want!

As long as you don't use acids (BHA or AHA) at the exact same time, the niacinamide in Super Serum shouldn't react with the acids and turn your face red or make you flush. At night, I wait 20-30 minutes for the acids to self-neutralize on my skin and then apply Super Serum without any adverse reactions. I use Super Serum whenever I can (morning and night) because it heals my skin so effectively and diminishes inflammation. If you want to be cautious, just don't use Super Serum when you're using any acids.
