    So I've been using Pixi glow tonic as a toner day and night (5% strength), I've just received the Alpha H Liquid Gold treatment which is 10%.

    I use spf 50 daily in the summer, will use 30spf in the winter unless I'm out doors for the day.

    I know I should use the treatment around twice a week, but how should I use my daily toner with this new treatment?

    Should I avoid using the tonic the night and morning after the treatment?

    Should I reduce using the tonic to just nights I'm not using the treatment?

    I use liquid gold 3 nights a week and use pixi glow tonic on the other days. The nights I use the liquid gold I only use this and the next morning when I cleanse my face I use a hydrating toner instead of pixi. Hope that makes sense!

    Hi, just bought the liquid gold. Can anyone comment on their opinion/results so far? It was recommended by my beautician but I'd never heard of before that.

    I love Liquid Gold. Few things to note, it's recommended that you use it alone without a moisturiser on top but I think for the first few uses you should use a bit of serum on top of it until your skin gets used to it. It will feel a bit drying otherwise. It will tingle the first few times but this is normal.

    I'd recommend using it once a week and then maybe twice a week after a few times. If you're dry though, probably no need to use it more than once a week. It's super important to use a decent sunscreen everyday especially if you're a liquid gold user. That's all I can really think of. Let us know how you get on!
