Depends: Most of these are low percentage products that have minimal direct effect.At most you would expect some drying. With these or any other skin product you test them over time.If you are excessively or reddened you cut back on the duration or frequency you apply them.If regularly scheduled applications have no side effects, this can be a good basic skin plan.

Burn by washing my face with salicylic acid using a silicone scrubberand then applying trifarotene 0.005% (Aklief) at night. How can I repair my skin barrier? Even washing my face with mild, non-soap cleansers like Cetaphil burns. Peeling and red too?
