How to use
A.H.A. Serum
When: Use in your evening routine (AHAs increase sun sensitivity).
Application: After cleansing and toning, apply 1–2 drops or a pea‑sized amount to dry face, avoiding the eye area. Gently spread and allow to absorb.
Frequency: Start 2–3 times per week if you are new to AHAs, then increase to nightly as tolerated.
Follow: Use a hydrating moisturizer. In the morning, apply broad‑spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+).
Low‑pH Foam Cleanser
When: Use morning and evening to cleanse.
Application: Wet face with lukewarm water, dispense a small amount, lather, gently massage for 30–60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
Follow: Proceed with serum (AHA serum in evening only) and moisturizer.
Benefits / Intended effects
A.H.A. Serum: Chemical exfoliation to smooth skin texture, unclog pores, reduce dullness, and improve tone. Can help acne‑prone, rough, or congested skin when used appropriately.
Low‑pH Foam Cleanser: Gentle cleansing that preserves skin’s acid mantle and barrier, reducing irritation compared with high‑pH cleansers. Good base for subsequent active treatments.
Suitable skin types & precautions
Recommended: Oily, combination, acne‑prone, and skin with mild texture/unevenness may benefit from AHA exfoliation; sensitive skin should proceed with caution. Low‑pH cleanser suits sensitive and barrier‑compromised skin.
Caution with AHA: AHAs increase photosensitivity. Use sunscreen daily and avoid combining with other strong exfoliants (retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, other acids) unless advised by a dermatologist.
Patch test: Perform a patch test for the serum if you have sensitive or reactive skin. Discontinue if severe irritation occurs.
