Two to four nights a week for most people, built up from one. Leave an unloaded night on either side while you are finding your pace.
A week has a budget of 12. At 3 a use, this is 4 uses a week if you run nothing else loaded. How the scale works.

Glycolic acid at 8%, buffered to pH 3.8, with glycerin and allantoin to take the edge off. Used a few nights a week it lifts dull surface cells and leaves skin looking brighter and feeling smoother.
Load 3. Free-acid exfoliation is the category the weekly budget was designed around — it is easy to do too much of, and doing too much of it is how people end up with a barrier that reacts to everything.
It goes on damp cotton, not on the hands. There is no benefit to leaving it on longer or using more.
