I'm curious about cosmetics containing AHA ingredients.

I have a cosmetic product that contains AHA ingredients.
I previously purchased this because it was said to help remove skin tags. However, when I looked at the description on the back of the product again, it stated that it can help with exfoliation, skin texture refinement, and making the skin smooth.

However, I am a bit worried because I once saw a post online saying that AHA ingredients can be very irritating and harsh on the skin. So far, I haven't been able to apply it to my entire face, and have only used it occasionally on very small areas.

Am I mistaken about the AHA?
I am curious to hear from those who have actually used it. I would also like to know if you saw any effects in improving skin texture or exfoliating.

I am also wondering if it is okay to use AHA products every day, or if I should use them only once or twice a week at first, like retinol, to allow my skin an adjustment period.
Please let me know if it is suitable for sensitive skin, and if there are any special precautions to take when using it, as well as tips for moisturizing and sunscreen care!
