What is the optimal pH range for a BHA formulation to achieve skin exfoliation, particularly for treating clogged pores, based on the previous explanation that pH below 3.5 is suitable for hydroxy acid exfoliation?
Answer
Based on the previous staff reply, if you are aiming for the skin exfoliation effect from BHA to treat clogged pores, the pH of your formulation should be adjusted. The staff reply states that a pH level not exceeding 3.5 is suitable for the exfoliation function of hydroxy acids, including BHA. Therefore, if exfoliation is your goal, adjusting the pH to below 3.5 is necessary according to the provided information.
