Hi, I have read a lot that people using Differin should not use Glycolic Acid/Salicylic Acid products. Why is this? I find that using Differin alone is not enough. Thanks for your help!

<p>It's not that you can't use these products together, you simply want to be cautious as using both or all three would be a lot of aggressive exfoliation. Your skin isn't going to benefit from aggressively exfoliating - in fact it will actually have a negative affect on your skin for the most part. Please contact me with further questions. </p><p>Meagan, Esthetician </p>
