Description

Usage
- Use twice daily, morning and evening, after cleansing the face.

- Gently smooth over cleansed face and neck, avoiding the eye area and any broken or irritated skin.

- Because the formula contains PHA (Gluconolactone), daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended during the day to protect against increased sun sensitivity associated with exfoliating acids.
- For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- If irritation, redness or rash develops, discontinue use and consult a skincare professional or physician if needed.

- Skin with active irritation, eczema flare, dermatitis, open wounds or compromised barrier at the application site.
- History of significant sensitivity or adverse reaction to PHA or other exfoliating acid products.
- Recent strong chemical peels, laser resurfacing or other intensive dermatological procedures on the face unless cleared by a dermatologist.
- Individuals with photosensitivity disorders should seek medical advice before using exfoliating acid-based products combined with sun exposure.
Adverse Effects
- Mild transient tingling or stinging upon application, particularly in individuals new to acid-based toners.
- Temporary erythema (redness) or slight irritation, especially on very sensitive skin or with overuse.
- Dryness, tightness or mild flaking if skin barrier becomes impaired or if combined with multiple exfoliating products.
- Increased sun sensitivity associated with use of exfoliating acids, potentially leading to sunburn without suitable sun protection.
- Rare allergic reactions (itching, swelling, burning, rash) to botanicals, fragrance, preservatives or dyes in susceptible individuals.
- If persistent irritation, swelling or discomfort occurs, use should be discontinued and medical or professional advice sought.
Storage Conditions
- Store at room temperature, typically between 15–30 °C (59–86 °F).

Duration
Intended for continuous, twice-daily use as part of a long-term skincare regimen. Improvements in suppleness, radiance, smoothness and comfort are typically observed after approximately two weeks of regular use, with continued benefits over extended use.
Onset
Skin generally feels more hydrated, soothed and refreshed immediately after application. Brand research and user reports indicate noticeably more supple, brighter and smoother-looking skin, with less dullness, after around two weeks of twice-daily use.
