Using both glycolic and salicylic acids?

I have the Bravura calendula toner which is 15% glycolic acid. I'm using it every 2/3 nights and am impressed how smooth it has made my skin already after 4 uses!

However I have clogged pores too and understand I need salicylic acid for that.

Can I alternate using each type of toner?

I follow with Nivea blue pot (so sue me, it's the best moisturiser I have found for my 35yo dehydrated skin). I might add a few drops of facial oil every third night for a moisture boost when I'm not using an acid toner.

Brill thanks! Can I ask what products you use? Do you acid tone nightly?

I'm looking at Paula's Choice 2% salicylic but there's prob a cheaper option.
