We then do the AHA/BHA in one O/W emulsion with the correct pH and add another O/W emulsion with the retinol to it! This way you can easily combine them both without harming the pH effectiness. Also many cosmetic products containing VIT A are just in it to help the Oils from oxidation during the heating up process. example: we make an Night Cream O/W or W/O and insert retinyl palmitate to the oil phase to protect the oil when it's being warmed up till 70° or so. It has no real benefits for the skin just to help prevent the oil from Oxidation, it's usually then in products with an 0,5% concentration, ofcourse this doesn't go for retinol since that's active that you add in the Temperature sensitive fase. Same goes for Tocopherol oil which is just inserted to protect the oil, it's Tocopherol acetate that has benefits for the skin.

I was wondering, if I use a cleanser with salicylic acid before using retinol, will that have adverse effects? Also, does AHA/BHA working best at different pH levels than retinoids mean that any of the products actually change the pH level? If not, how would using the products together make the situation worse (i.e., make the pH less favorable to one of the products) than it already is? Thanks! Hi, thanks for the information!

What do you make of this? I think it has thinned my skin a little, but I expect that if I lay off it for a while, my skin will regenerate.

You mentioned there's evidence that BHA's thin the skin. Is that a permanent effect that can ultimately lead to more aging? I've been using an antioxidant face lotion with salicylic acid. Now I'm wondering if I'm doing more harm than good. Great information! You mentioned there’s evidence that BHA’s thin the skin. Is that a permanent effect that can ultimately lead to more aging?
