Can I use retinol daily?
Yes, providing you slowly work up to it. Start your retinol journey with a good formulation of around 0.5 %. Use this every second night paying close attention to skin irritation. You can increase this to nightly application over a period of 2-6 weeks. If you do experience unwanted side effects, back off.
If you have super sensitive skin, consider a gentler formulation such as retinyl palmitate.

How do AHA peels work?
Chemical peels work as an exfoliant. By definition, AHA peels are superficial peels, meaning their action is within the top layer of skin called the epidermis. Within the AHA family, there are a glycolic, lactic, critic, malic, and mandelic acids. Glycolic acid is the smallest molecule meaning it has better penetration than larger molecules such as mandelic acid.
Glycolic acid in higher concentrations, typically 50 to 70% can stimulate cells to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Lactic acid peels are best for skin hydration as it increases the skin’s natural moisturizing factor. Chemical peels increase the turnover of skin cells, improving dullness & pigmentation.
