is it safe to use products with bha and aha everyday?

I have this aha/bha set with a cleanser, toner, serum and moisturizer. I'm fairly new to acids and was just wondering if its safe to use these everyday or should I use some every other day, etc. Thank you for your help!

Since you're just starting I recommend using them alternating days, 1-2 times a week. When you think you're fine with it, increase it 2-3 times. COSRX has a daily toner with AHA/BHA/Vit C but not every skin could handle acids every day. Let your skin adjust to the acids then see what you can do next.

I think if you're new to this, it's better to tone down it, like at least once a week or twice at max? Unless you're already got used to it, and your skin is fine, you could use that everyday. But even if you use it every day, if the whole routine contains acid is not really good either? Since it will keep exfoliating your skin πŸ˜€ My recommendation is to use aha/bha by one product and follows it by hydrating and moisturizing products, so your skin could get the exfoliating process but also get the calming process afterwards 😊 Hope it helps a little 😊

It actually depends on the products and how high their aha/bha concentration. I don't really recommend using them everyday. Over-exfoliate is a thing and it can make your skin worse overtime. You can try them 2 times a week first, and see how your skin reacts. Every skin is different, tho. Don't forget to use sunscreen and moisturize your skin properly. Hope this helps β™₯

Hello, depending on the concentration of the acid, the product always has recommendations on how often you should use it. For some, you can use it everyday, morning and night. For some, you can only use it twice a week. So, please check the package and adjust the usage rate to your skin tolerance.

Probably not if you’re starting but you can build tolerance to use it every day
