How often is it appropriate to exfoliate?

Hello. I have various peeling products stocked at home.

There are peeling products that help remove dead skin cells that look like "skin dirt," to the point where you can really feel the skin peeling off, and

Is this really a peeling agent? Does it actually remove dead skin cells? There are even exfoliators so gentle that you might doubt it.

I prefer the former because it feels like it removes dead skin cells cleanly,

It did seem to irritate the skin a bit.

So, what I'm curious about is...

I'm wondering if it would be good to use a slightly irritating peeling product about once a week or once every two weeks,

Or, I wonder if it would be more effective to use hypoallergenic products that do not cause peeling irritation more frequently.
