Good to know
Questions, answered
The practical things clients ask us about this product.
Will this cause purging when I first start using it?
Mild flaking or sensitivity can occur in the first 1-2 weeks as skin adjusts to the acids. This is why we recommend starting at 1-2 times a week and building up gradually.
Can I use this with other exfoliating acids or retinol?
We don't recommend combining this with additional AHA/BHA products or retinol on the same night, as it can increase irritation. Alternate nights instead.
Is it okay during pregnancy?
Guidance varies by ingredient and strength. Check with your doctor or midwife, and tell us you're expecting so we can review your whole routine.
Do I need to stop using it before a treatment?
Yes. Pause it about 2 days before and after facials, waxing and threading. For peels, BioRePeel and microneedling, we'll give you exact timing at your visit.
Do I need sunscreen while using this?
Yes. Active ingredients can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning, even on cloudy days.
Should I patch test first?
If your skin is sensitive or you have allergies, yes. Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner arm once a day for a few days before using it on your face.
