Good choice starting with 0.9% – that’s pretty gentle for first time. I tried BHA maybe 6 months ago and purging was real but not terrible. My skin got bit worse for like week and half, then suddenly everything cleared up nice.
Just don’t get impatient and use it more often when you see some breakouts at beginning – I made that mistake and irritated my skin pretty bad. Stick with the 2x per week schedule even if your skin looks worse first few weeks.
