[Product Question] Do chemical exfoliants have negative long term impact on the skin?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So over the past couple of days, I've been hanging out at r/asianbeauty, and I've been seeing some doubts about the prolonged usage of AHA/BHAs. In one thread, a user said that she had read that chemical exfoliants can cause "premature cell turnover." I don't know what that means, but when I asked her source her information, I never got an answer back. I messaged my Curology provider about this, too, but I haven't gotten a response yet. Today, a new thread was posted asking if chemical exfoliants cause skin sagging, because a user reported that she noticed more pronounced frown lines and sagging cheeks when she incorporated lactic acid in her routine. I'm assuming that these posts are not really referencing overexfoliation because there isn't really mention of shining skin or irritation, but I won't disregard the possibility that it is a contributor.I love using actives, but because my skin philosophy is prevention rather than turning back time, it'd really suck if everything that I was doing to it was actually just giving temporary beautiful effects while hurting it like crazy in the long run. I'd love to know if anyone could give insight on this issue.
