Glycolic acid, it’s on the stronger end of exfoliants — I really like naturiums or la Roche posay

Yess! For example you can’t use retinol the same night you use a chemical exfoliant. Also you should only use it at night. The most important rule ALWAYS use spf or you could just make your skin worse

Yes, it can help with quicker skin turnover. You just have to be EXTREMELY careful and follow a handful of rules

Don’t use other actives the same day as you use a retinol, use spf every day, only use retinol and chemical exfoliation at night. But also follow a “skin cycling” routine. To support turnover and healing Night 1-chemical exfoliant Night 2-retinol Night 3/4-slug or a thick moisturizer

Plus tret is strong and has its own side effects bc of that (purging, dry skin, sensitivity). Just things to keep in mind when using tret with an exfoliant
