FAQ

How often should I use Glycolic Acid Serum?

Start with a few evenings a week and adjust based on how your skin responds. It's formulated as an evening exfoliating step.

We recommend alternating rather than layering both active serums the same evening, to keep your routine simple and let skin adjust.

Do I need to wear SPF after using this?

Yes. Follow with a face cream in the evening, and always use SPF during the day, since exfoliating actives can increase sun sensitivity.
