How to Use
DOSE: Use 1 to 2 pea sized drops.
RITUAL: 2-3 times a week (or as often as desired), after cleansing, soak a cotton pad and press into the skin in upward motions, over the entire face. Do not rinse. In the AM, always follow up with sunscreen.
Can I use this every day? We purposely designed the Gentle Resurfacing Liquid to be gentle, with consideration that you may want to use it daily or in conjunction with other actives, such as retinoids. Whilst it can be used daily, we believe and recommend that skin doesn’t need to be exfoliated more than 3 times per week!
Can this product cause purging/breakouts? Yes, for some people who may be new to chemical exfoliation. Purging can happen when using active ingredients such as Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Beta Hydroxy Acids (such as those in the Gentle Resurfacing Liquid) that stimulate cell turnover, causing under-the-surface pimples to come to a head. Some people purge and others don’t - however purging should only last a few weeks (it should not last months!) and it should follow a trend of where you usually break out.
Can I use this product with Tretinoin or with other retinoids? Yes, however we recommend that you alternate between them on different days and not use them in the same routine. The Gentle Resurfacing Liquid is a great option to alternate with Vitamin A products due to how gentle it is.
We would recommend taking careful observation of your skin when introducing more than one active ingredient into your routine! With higher strength retinoids, we recommend limiting the Gentle Resurfacing Liquid to 1-2 times a week.
*Please Note
Is the Gentle Resurfacing Liquid safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?The Gentle Resurfacing Liquid is considered low to no risk for those that are pregnant or breastfeeding. The exfoliant contains 0.5% Salicylic Acid, which is considered a safe concentration in skincare products. The general consensus is to avoid products with a higher percentage of BHA (above 2%) when pregnant or breastfeeding, such as those seen in professional peels. However, we always recommend that you consult your physician/healthcare provider before using the product, who can provide you the best advice.
