## Questions & Answers

**Q: I currently use retinol at night. Would you use this product alongside it?**
A: Based on published research, there is great benefit to applying AHAs or BHAs at the same time you would apply retinol. Studies have shown that combined use (either from one product that contains these ingredients or two products applied in sequence) offers marked improvements for those struggling with acne, discolouration, uneven skin tone, and wrinkles. In fact, AHAs and BHAs allow better penetration of active ingredients by removing unhealthy layers of built-up skin cells caused by sun damage.
 
Paula feels strongly that her customers will benefit from combined use of AHA or BHA exfoliants with products that contain retinol (or prescription retinoids).
Nonetheless, we always advise to monitor how your skin reacts and adjust the use of products accordingly. It might be wise to first start with alternating your retinol and Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid each night and see how your skin gets on. Should all go well, try applying them sequentially in the same routine.

Please feel free to ask us anything!

**Q: Is this suitable for use after an oil pre-cleanser (double cleansing routine) or would it be too harsh?**
A: Thank you for your question!
 
Double cleansing is a good technique if you wear heavy makeup and a mineral-based sunscreen (those with active ingredients titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide), double cleansing ensures you remove both the makeup and the sunscreen, which means the products you apply after cleansing can work even more effectively.
 
The Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel is perfectly fine to apply after double cleansing and wouldn't be too harsh. All Paula's Choice BHAs are gentle, leave-on exfoliants that effectively remove dead skin cells. You can apply this exfoliant directly after (double) cleansing, but it's important to gradually build up usage starting with 2-3 times per week at night. If all goes well, you can increase frequency from there and eventually apply it up to twice daily.
 
I hope this information is helpful and please don't hesitate to contact us again if you have any other questions!

**Q: Can i use it on my scalp ?**
A: Yes you can use this product on your scalp in the same way as on his face.  Please monitor how your scalp handles the product and adjust usage accordingly. For daytime, always use a moisturiser containing a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.
