Usage Directions?

I have a sample of BHA toner. I wanted to know how most you use it. With swabs or you just pour it out to your palm and pat directly onto face?
Plus, is it normal that I don't feel any stinging whatsoever upon BHA application?? I use acid cream from my dermatologist at night and it's pretty strong, so is it possible that it makes me don't feel anything?

I put a few drops on my palm and then just pat it on, making sure it's absorbed and face is dry before I use anything over the top.
I have never had any stinging with BHA, I don't it does for most.

Another question. Does niacinamide reacting with acid turning into niacin makes it ineffective or something? Because honestly, I put my Super Serum right after BHA dries up does not turn me red whatsoever.

The BHA is a little more mild than the AHA- and some people feel it more. It doesn't inactivate it- it just helps the conversion to niacin as far as I understand. If it works for you- go with it!

I'm sorry if someone has posted this question because I've gone through almost every post in Skin Care but don't remember finding any.
How long do you usually take to use up your skincare products? (i.e. Apricot Cleansing Oil-1mo, twice a day; or Super Serum-3mo., once daily)

I put the BHA toner on a cotton pad and pat it all over my face.
It doesn't sting for me either
