Is it okay to use products containing AHA when I have skin trouble?
2026.02.17 14:36
I've been getting a lot of breakouts on my face lately, and I'm considering products containing AHA because I've heard they're good for exfoliating and improving skin texture. However, I'm worried that using products with acidic ingredients like AHA on acne-prone skin might cause irritation. I've also heard that it can actually make things worse, especially when the skin is red or sensitive...
My skin isn't completely broken out, but it does tend to break out, and I have combination skin that usually feels a bit dry. Has anyone tried using AHA toners or creams on troubled areas? Please let me know if you saw any results or if it actually caused irritation, and also how often I should use them.

- 03CommentsAfter laser hair removal, your skin can become sensitive, so moisturizing and soothing care are important. Apply a thin layer of mild, fragrance-free moisturizer, and it is best to avoid hot saunas or harsh exfoliation for the time being. Please also pay attention to sun protection when going outdoors. Care instructions may vary slightly depending on the area treated.631026.10.28

- 02CommentsI saw comments saying that washing your face with a showerhead is irritating, so I try to wash it separately at the sink whenever possible. T_T But if it's a hassle, I just wash my face while showering...1554126.10.07
- 03CommentsSince the expected effects of eyelash serums vary depending on the ingredients, I should check carefully when choosing one. As it is a product used around the eyes, it would be best to use it consistently while also checking for any irritation.1084226.10.12
