Once or twice a week
After you wash your face
I think at night, but if guess it's a personal preference

I exfoliate whenever I want tbh.. Just whenever I feel like I need to exfoliate, you shouldn't limit yourself. And you should do it at night after you take all of your makeup and stuff off or before you put it on in the morning.

I exfoliate every day but it's actually a "Daily Exfoliator" and I use it before I put on makeup because it makes it go on very smoothly.

I exfoliate 2 times per week. I'm on Retin-a, but I apply it every night which means more dead skin that I need to slough away. I do it before I shower at night.

You shouldnt be exfoliating while on retin a. Retin a is the exfoliator and doesn't need any other physical exfoliant it will irritate your skin you should be using the mildest of cleanser and moisturiser you could while on retin a.

I have acne prone and very sensative skin and my skin can really only be exfoliated once; maybe twice a week. Anymore that that actually does more harm then good and begins to break me out. So, think about what kind of skin you have and how sensitive it is. Maybe start with once a week and up it if you need to. I always do it at night after I wash my face! I feel like I get more benefits from the exfoliation if I'm not layering makeup on my face right after I do it; which is what happens in the morning.
