How often should I use this exfoliator, and can I combine it with other active ingredients like retinoids or acids?

This facial exfoliator is best suited for a weekly regimen rather than daily use. Since it functions as a mechanical exfoliant, the key to effective and safe use is light massage rather than applying pressure. It is particularly useful when your skin appears dull, feels uneven, or when makeup does not sit as evenly as usual. It can also serve as a preparatory step to create a polished, cleaner-looking complexion before applying hydrating masks, serums, or creams, potentially enhancing their absorption.

Caution is required when combining this product with other active ingredients. If your skin already feels sensitized, avoid using this polish in the same session as strong acids, retinoids, or other exfoliating products. Over-exfoliation can compromise the skin barrier, leading to increased dryness or irritation. For those exposed to makeup, sunscreen, city dust, or changing weather, this weekly polish can help remove surface buildup. However, always listen to your skin's signals; if it feels stripped or tight after use, reduce the frequency or ensure you follow up with adequate hydration using ingredients like the Vitamin E and Vitamin F (essential fatty acids) contained in the formula.
