BHA & AHA, can I use both?

So it sounds like both are best used at night? But can they be used together? Or do I need to alternate and use one on one night and then the other the next night?
If they can be used together, then which should I used first and which second?
Thanks!

I have used them both in one evening at times, but not consistently. I would probably go AHA last because it is more of a surface exfoliator. I think use of it makes my skin more sensitive than the BHA, but that is just my experience. Be careful and make sure you listen to your skin. Don't over do it if you don't need to.

Thank you

I don't typically use toner at all, but I want to start, and these both sounds so nice I was thinking of how to work them both into my routine.
Will it be a problem at all using Mama's Helper or Awesome Sauce serum after them?
Thanks!

Awesome Sauce and Mama's Helper will be fine. Take your time working up, though.

Thanks! I will.
I will probably get both toners and alternate instead of using both on one day.
Is there anything I should avoid using after the toners, any ingredients.
I currently use a moisturizer with kojic acid, can I still use that over the toner?

The big one to avoid with acids is niacinimide. Most everything else should be compatible.
