I have recently started expanding my skincare to routine. I am slowly introducing Paula's Choice BHA Exfoliant & a retinol. I have combo skin and it is not overly sensitive. I initially purchased Paula's Choice 1% Retinol which I have been using once a week for 3 weeks. I have not had any adverse reactions or issues. I have read on this page that it is likely safer to start at a lower percentage and work my way up. I just purchased The Ordinary 0.2% Retinol in Squalene to do so. 

My question is: Am I okay to slowly dive into introducing alternating 0.2% Retinol and PC BHA in my routine on different evenings? I have also read by some in this group to not start retinol and BHA at the same time. Should I play out the Retinol for 6-8 weeks and then start introducing a BHA or am I okay to slowly and carefully introduce both? I appreciate your advice!!
