Layering

Is it okay to use a bha/aha cream on top of the cosrx bha blackhead power liquid? I only use the bha/aha cream on mwf in the evening (its how my skincare routine goes) Is it okay to layer both?

If you are sure that your skin can handle it then it should be okay, but normally it’s best to not double up on ingredients since it doesn’t help them with the results much but can cause irritation. But if you decide to do this then apply the bha liquid before the cream, because applying it on top will make it super hard for the product to penetrate and get to your skin.

It's okay as long your skin can adapted with them. Put more soothing or hydrating products will help you to reduce redness or dryness too

Your profile says you have sensitive skin and adding two acid products on top of each other might be a bit too intense - that said, every skin is different - but what would you want to achieve from using both that you couldn’t achieve with one? Perhaps use them on alternate days?

It’s good you’re not wasting!! 🌍:) perhaps if you switch to just the new product you could give the cream to a family member or friend who might want a gentle AHA/BHA product so it’s not wasted?
