Yes you can use retinoids every day if your skin can tolerate it. If you're just starting out though I would recommend you introduce it slowly into your routine! π
It's generally not advised to use bha and retinol at the same time so there are two options on how to incorporate both products into your routine.
First you could use both products on alternating days, however that would mean that you can't use the eye cream every day. For example you could use the eyecream for two days and exfoliate on the third day! π₯°β¨οΈ
The second option is that you use bha in the morning. Contrary to popular belief BHA at low concentrations does not increase the skins photosensitivity! That way you could still use the eye cream every day. π
Of course don't forget to apply sunscreen anyways especially if you're using retinoids! π©·βοΈ

I use a small, pea size amount for both eyes and spread it around the under eye and upper eye area, below the brow bone at night only.
You can use it every night if your skin near your eyes isn't sensitive or if you're already used to retinoids. Otherwise, start using it 2-3 times a week first to prevent irritation and to observe your skin's reaction to it. You can use it more often if there are no issues.
I would suggest using the BOJ eye cream on different nights than the Cosrx BHA if possible. But if you do end up using them together, just make sure not to apply the BHA around the eye area because that's where you're gonna apply the retinal

As you have sensitive skin I wouldn't recommend it. It is possible for some people but especially when you start I would sugest starting 2-3 times a week. Do you use it on your eye area or whole face? The eye area is also more sensitive then the rest of the face so especially in that area I would not recommend using it every day.
Also make sure you don't the COSRX BHA powder at the same night. Retinol/Retinal (which is in this eye serum) & exfoliating acids do not go together.
You could do:
Day 1 BOJ Eye Serum
Day 2 Rest day (meaning no BOJ eye serum and no Cosrx BHA)
Day 3 Cosrx BHA
Day 4 Rest day
Day 5 BOJ Eye Serum
Day 6 Rest day
Day 7 Rest day (or Cosrx BHA depending on how well your skin tollerates this)
I've learned the hard way (especially with sensitive skin) using acids or retinoids too often can lead to an angry skin and damaged skin barrier. Which takes quite some time to heal so I always like to recommend start slowly. Don't over do harsh actives like these π
Do you use an SPF during the day? As this really is a must when exfoliating and using Retinal/Retinol π
