If you have been using the same product repeatedly, it would not be a bad idea to rotate to another product with a different active ingredient. It is highly recommended to rotate the products you use to be sure that you are preventing any possible resistance issues to the active ingredient being used. Switching up the mode of action will help to make your applications as effective as possible.
