Do I need still need to use an exfoliator if I already have a BHA toner?

IIf I have a BHA toner, would I still need to exfoliate using an exfoliator? I have comedones I want to get rid of, I don't know if the cosrx ac collection calming liquid toner (my BHA toner) can do it alone, and I am thinking of also using cosrx AHA 7 whitehead power liquid. Also, do I use the BHA toner everyday? I heard you shouldn't exfoliate everyday, but people say that toners are required to use everyday so I'm kinda confused here haha

I think you don't need extra exfloiate because your toner already has AHA.

I don’t think that u need another exfoliant since u aldy has bha toner, if u just started incorporate this into ur routine, would recommend u to start v 1/2x times a week. No u shouldn’t exfoliate everyday too, it will damage ur skin barrier & strip off ur skin natural oil !! 😁😁

I thought the calming toner (bha toner) has low % of bha, so u haven't good result than u think before. I would recommend to using physical exfo for 2times/weeks , so u still using bha toner everyday except when u doing a physical exfo.

Physical exfo totally not bad in some cases . It depends pf what kind form that used , and how u apply/used it . Examole on axisy mugwort pore clarifying wash off mask , there’s adzuki beans as mild physical exfo , the key is don’t be so harsh when rubbing the scrub .

How long have you been using bha? I believe the cosrx has little % of bha that's why it is okay to be used everyday and your skin tolerates it. I would suggest to get a 2% bha after you finish the bottle so you only use it 2-3 times a week. It's cost effective for me that way and you wouldn't risk your skin barrier.

This is my first time using BHA! I'll pay attention to how my skin to see how my skin will tolerate it. Thank you so much for the tip!
