How do I incorporate this lotion into my existing skincare routine?

This lotion is designed as a toner-lotion for after cleansing. After washing your face in the morning or evening and patting it dry, you can apply a small amount to a cotton pad and gently wipe it over the areas of your face that tend to be oily or congested, avoiding the eye area. Since it contains salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), it's important to be thoughtful about how you combine it with other products. The product notes suggest it is best introduced carefully rather than combined all at once with multiple strong exfoliants like retinoids, physical scrubs, or other acid-based treatments (such as AHAs). For a standard routine, you could use it once a day initially, followed by a moisturizer and, crucially during the day, a broad-spectrum sunscreen, as exfoliating products can increase sun sensitivity. This allows you to get the intended freshening and pore-refining benefits without overwhelming your skin.
