Routine Help (Paula’s Choice BHA and Epiduo Forte Gel)

I'll recommend to use it separately. Benzoyl peroxide itself will weaken your skin to kill the bacteria. If use together with BHA for the first time, your skin might get irritated or you might experience some peeled off.

I agree. Try them on alternate days

definitely use them in separate days! both products contains active ingredients that shouldn’t be used together ❤️

NO! please don’t pair these in one routine! You will damage your skin barrier…it’s a recipe for disaster 🔥 you can alternate nights…use epiduo 3x a week and BHA 2x a week and allow your skin to rest for the next 2 days by using no actives and keeping routine to cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen only

First question - how long have you been on Epiduo? I feel if you are just starting or haven't been on for atleast 6 months I wouldn't add another exfoliant. If you have been on for 6 months or longer try every other night or use SA on morning routine on nights bot using Epiduo. Do not rush results, adding more exfoliants can irritate the skin more causing the acne to stay longer or hyperpigmentation to linger longer as well.
