I think there's no problem if your skin can tolerate it😊 i think bha can't be mix with benzoyl peroxide, aha and retinoid 😅

Yeah. But I also read that it can’t be mixed with niacinamide too. Because it can trigger the niacin effect which is like a red flush on the skin. I’m not sure too 😅

Maybe niacinamide with high percentage ? 😅 like 10% niacinamide.. I've seen a few people most likely tend to breakout whenever they used niacinamide with high percentage
