How to Use

Important Precautions

• Sun Sensitivity: AHA increases your skin's sensitivity to the sun and risk of sunburn. Daily sunscreen and protective clothing are essential during use and for at least a week after stopping.

• What to Avoid: Do not use on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. Avoid combining it in the same routine with other direct acids (such as salicylic acid) or strong retinoids to prevent severe irritation.
