I just got this in the mail today and I'm excited to try it. I have combo skin and already use their BHA, but IMO the benefits of AHA are different enough that I like to use both types of ingredients. Out of curiosity, why shouldn't this be used with niacinamide? It tends to work well with almost anything.
You will love it! And yes you can always switch between them For niacinamide, It’s because of the PH levels niacinamide is formulated with a neutral pH, and acids are a low PH. So if you mix acids and niacinamide together, the niacinamide could raise the pH level of the acid, making it less acidic. That means the acids could be less effective. Acids can also affect the performance niacinamide as the acidic conditions can trigger its conversion into niacin. At the end of the day, it all comes down to the product formulation. I believe you can use Paula’s choice niacinamide fine with their acids as they state, but other brands say different. So if you are mixing brands I always recommend to use seperately to reap the full benefits :)
Hey I would use one or the other at a time. You can use both in your routine but separately if that makes sense. If your concerns are blackheads, breakouts or your skin is combo/ oily skin stick to the BHA. If it’s dry, then use this mandelic/lactic acid exfoliant instead xx
Some brands don't recommend to use niacnamide with exfoliating acids. It will depend on the brand of niacinamide you are using. It comes down to the brand formulation xx
Yes but depending on the brand whether or not you can use it on top, I would use vitamin c separately. You won't need to use this liquid exfoliant daily, so you can use your vitamin c on the other days x
Hey there, yes you can use the retinol earlier than waiting 3 days if you feel your skin can tolerate it. It also depends on the retinol you are using...

I use the bha with their niacinamide and every other day I use this exfoliant. I then use their niacinamide. It has made my skin gorgeous!
Has this helped you eliminate existing closed comedones, skin texture and hyperpigmentation ?
Can I use Centella ampoule toner before this pls ?? What toners can I use
Do you use them in combination with each other? Or alternate between them each day?

can I use vitamin c (VaniCream) after Mandelic/Lactic toner?
Thank you for sharing!!!! Very helpful video!!!!
Can I use it in summer ?
If you have Rosacea and acne this is supposed to be FAR gentler than the 2% Glycolic, which can be problematic if you are sensitive.
@skinzone: can i use bha and aha both on alternate days?
How I realized if I have to exfoliate one or two times per week?
can i mix it with the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant?

Quick question sorry, why would it be bad to use this with niacinamide ? just curious

noted. thank you for the reply, really appreciate it@@SkinZoneTV
if you use this, are you still able to use stuff like vitamin c serums and fade creams on top of it to help fade the dark spots/hyper pigmentation?
Yes but depending on the brand whether or not you can use it on top, I would use vitamin c separately. You won't need to use this liquid exfoliant daily, so you can use your vitamin c on the other days x
Sinice, your not supose to use this product everyday can you say use this product once then wait 3 days without using it and then use a retinal?

Thank you!!
Can I use Centella ampoule toner before this pls ?? What toners can I use
Yes
Can we use niacinamide with this product ? I think yes
It depends on the brand of Niacinamide you are using. Some brands don’t recommend to mix both x
If i struggle with tiny bumps on my nose and chin, would I use this product or the BHA exfoliating liquid? I can’t seem to get rid of them on my face
What color are the bumps? If it’s underlying congestion or blackheads than the BHA
@@SkinZoneTV The bumps are the same color as my skin and some of them appear white
Which did you choose
@@khloenguyen473which did you use pls. I have the same problem
Can you use with Azelaic Acid
I do too. I'm prescribed 15% azelaic acid and use it with everything really
I use tretinoin at night. Is it OK to use this in the morning?
Yes. You can use AHAs and BHAs during the day (leave-ons). Just be 100% sure to use an SPF 30 or higher after.

Tone BEFORE exfoliation 🤔 dosent make sense
This is a leave on exfoliant that you do not rinse off so yes cleansing and toning comes before a liquid leave on exfoliant xx
Think of a toner as a preparation for stronger products.
