  • Hi, I have been using the Salicylic Acid 20% and it worked great the first 4 weeks (2 peels a week). I then took a 3 week break and continued with another 4 week treatment. The last 4 week treatment was not as effective as the first round. Does skin become immune, thus requiring stronger treatment? So I decided to buy the BHA+ peels. How often can I use it per week and for how many weeks? Can I use it with my Glycolic acid 35%? If so, how many days should be in between the glycolic and BHA? Thank you
  • Joyce,
    
    Skin can definitely become accustomed to certain skin products. When using the BHA, we do not suggest using any other peels with it, because the BHA is so strong and can really irritate the face.
    
    You should only be using the BHA every 14 days. You'll be using the peel for 6 applications and then taking a 3-4 week break. This peel is very strong and should be used with caution.
    
    Please let me know if you have any other questions,
    Ashley
