I have this. Whatever type of exfoliant you use you should only use at night and always use sunscreen everyday.
Especially AHA like this mandelic acid. AHA causes photosensitivity to your skin so your more prone to sun burn three times as much as without AHA.
Also note exfoliants needs to be used on dry skin, as damp or wet skin makes your skin permeable thus speeds absorption. You dont want that, Chemical exfoliants and retinol you want slow and steady

double cleanse as normal wait for your skin to dry before mandelic so either pat it in or use a cotton round. wait maybe 5mins as soon as its not moist anymore before proceeding with the next step.
Toner or essence after is really a personal choice, you can use a calming ampoule like mugwort or centella to lessen the irritation if any.

I've used this before and it's one of my favourite gentle exfoliating toners. Whenever you use an exfoliant you should always apply sunscreen especially if it's an aha since ahas cause photosensitivity which makes your skin more sensitive to the sun.
