Solve On AcneSerum AHA 5% facial serum

The AcneSerum AHA 5% facial serum should be used 3–4 times a week, depending on your skin’s condition and needs. If you exfoliate too often, your skin may become dehydrated, irritated, and more prone to inflammation.

If you use the AcneSerum AHA 5% as recommended (3–4 times a week), it should not cause redness, stinging, or dry skin. You can experience a passing tingling sensation, which is typical for products that contain hydroxy acids. Keep in mind that the way your skin reacts to these types of products depends on its condition and its level of sensitivity. Adapt the frequency of using the product to the condition and needs of your skin. If your skin becomes irritated (you notice redness, burning, peeling, dryness), discontinue treatment. 

Before using the product for the first time, make sure you are not allergic, especially if you have never used products with hydroxy acids before.

You should use an SPF product all year round, regardless of your current skin care routine. However, if you use a product with hydroxy acids, this is even more important, as they thin the epidermal barrier and thus make the skin more prone to discolorations.

Using the AcneSerum AHA 5% facial serum immediately before/after products with retinoids is not recommended. 

Using the AcneSerum AHA 5% facial serum immediately before/after products with AHA or BHA acids is not recommended. 

Pregnancy or breastfeeding are not contraindications to using the AcneSerum AHA 5% facial serum — the formula of the product has been designed to ensure effective, yet gentle exfoliation. However, you should remember that if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your skin can become more reactive to active ingredients in cosmetics, and exfoliation can make it extra sensitive.

The AcneSerum AHA 5% facial serum is a highly specialized product, so it contains no fragrance to minimize any risk of skin irritation. Acne-prone skin is also often sensitive to external factors. 

Example skin care routine:

Step 1. Cleanse

Every skin care routine should start with thorough, yet gentle cleansing.

• In the morning, all you need to do is wash your face once using the Pure On Gentle Cleansing Gel or the Pure On Make-up Remover and Cleansing Lotion — the choice depends on your preference and current needs of your skin.
• If you have put on make up and/or SPF, it is recommended to cleanse your skin twice. It is recommended to use the Pure On Make-up Remover and Cleansing Lotion first, and then the Pure On Cleansing Gel.

Step 2. Apply face mist

Apply the Pure On face mist onto clean and dry skin. This will moisturize your skin, help combat free radicals, and support healthy microbiota on your skin right at the start of your beauty routine.

Step 3. Apply serum

Once you apply the mist, wait 10 minutes and apply the Slow On peptide serum/TetraVIT C 10% serum or the Slow On Retinoserum/AcneSerum AHA 5% facial serum (in the evening). 

Step 4. Moisturize and regenerate

Finish your routine by applying the Slow On Smoothing Cream/Glow On Moisturizing Cream (in the morning) or the Slow On Lipid Barrier Renewal Cream/Glow On Regenerating Cream (in the evening). 

Step 5. Take care of the eye area

Do not forget about the delicate eye area — apply the Glow On Brightening Eye Cream (in the morning) and/or the Slow On Revitalizing Eye Cream (in the evening). Remember to apply the product on clean and dry skin. Adapt the frequency of eye cream use to the condition and needs of your skin.

Step 6. Protect your skin against the sun

Make sure you finish your morning skin care routine by applying an SPF product. An SPF product should be used all year long, regardless of the season and the weather.
