Common conclusions

You should start using BHAs because beta-hydroxy acids, or BHAs, are ingredients that are intended to reduce the signs of aging in the skin. BHAs have benefits for all skin types, making fine lines and wrinkles less visible and improving firmness. It is safe to use BHA daily.

Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) is best for acne-prone skin. For acne prone skin, oily skin with a propensity to become clogged and mild acne, salicylic acid is incredibly helpful. To reduce build-up, banish pimples, and unclog pores, salicylic acid absorbs deeper into the skin than AHAs. You should look for The Ordinary-Salicylic Acid 2% Masque. BHAs can be used day or night, but no

You may need BHAs in your skin care routine because BHAs are most suitable for your combination to oily skin. Your combo skin will especially benefit—these include smoother skin, clearer pores, fewer breakouts, increased collagen production, a more even skin tone, and reduce dryness and flakiness.

BHA acids are exfoliating, which can dry out skin and cause further irritation if your skincare routine already includes retinol, so you should not mix BHAs with retinol because it can cause excessive skin sensitivity, irritation, and redness. BHA should not typically be used together with retinoids on the same day.

Great! You could use BHAs in your skin care routine. They can help you with your blackheads and whiteheads, wrinkles, fine lines, etc.
