How many times a week do you guys use this? Is it like a normal exfoliator or can you use it daily?

Also is it advisable to use it whilst on accutane?

It's better not to use whilst on Accutane. It can be very irritating to Accutane-irritated skin. But it's a daily treatment and can even be used twice daily.

Which one did you get: lotion, gel or liquid? I like the liquid. I think the gel would be better for most people. The lotion is likely not as good for acne-prone skin. But that I'm not 100% sure about.

Thanks for your reply

I took the gel as adviced by LionQueen. But I bet you're right, if it does dry you up then it's probably not a good idea, right now I only use products on my face that don't irritate it at all.

The lotion is fine for acne-prone skin. The BHA is just set in a lower power in the lotion it goes from strongest to weakest: liquid, gel, lotion. The lotion is the best for the winter-time as for no flakes. If you're on accutane it's probably not safe to use a BHA. I've used it for 10 months now and I still have clogged pores every where so I'm switching to aqua glycolic.

I love the 2% BHA lotion. It's less sticky than the gel and absorbs really fast - doesn't feel greasy at all.

I like the lotion too, I have sensitive skin so I use the 1%.

I use this too, and its great. I also use aqua glycolic cleanser, and it seems to be fine with my although I have sensitive skin. But you have to act if your skin gets too dry, skip a day and use plenty of 100% aloe vera.

I used to apply the lotion after cleansing but now I massage it on my skin before I cleanse with aqua glycolic and I dont blackhead since I started doing this. Something to do with uncloging the pores with the BHA and then exfoliating with the AHA.

Yeah, this product is amazing I think..

I have only used it once since I'm on accutane and it does dry me a little, but after just one use I saw a difference. Maybe it was just a coincidence but I'm pretty sure it isn't.
