What should I avoid doing when using this peeling, and how should I build a routine around it?

To use this peeling effectively and safely, incorporate it into your evening skincare routine, ideally on clean, dry skin. Start by using it once or twice a week to see how your skin responds. It is crucial to avoid combining it in the same evening with other potent actives like retinoids, additional exfoliating acids (e.g., salicylic acid, glycolic acid), or physical scrubs, as this can overwhelm your skin's barrier. Do not apply it to damaged skin or the sensitive eye area. The most important follow-up step is using a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following day, as all acid exfoliants increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. On nights you don't use the peeling, focus on hydration and barrier support with moisturizers and serums. If your skin feels tight or sensitive after use, scale back frequency and ensure your routine is otherwise gentle and nourishing.
