Product Description

This formula improves skin texture and wrinkles for the long term.
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) exfoliate the skin surface to reveal radiance and even out the skin tone.

Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) also exfoliate skin and unclog pores. This 32% solution deeply exfoliates skin to improve the appearance of imperfections and boost radiance.

The vegan formula contains a Tasmanian pepperberry derivative to reduce irritation often associated with fruit acid use. It also contains hyaluronic acid, healing vitamin B5 and antioxidant black carrot.

Directions

Cleanse your face and wait for skin to dry.

Do not use on wet skin.
Apply evenly to your face and neck with your fingertips, avoiding the eye area. Leave to work for up to 10 minutes.
Rinse with plenty of warm water. This formula should not be used on sensitive, damaged or peeling skin.

Avoid contact with the eyes and eye area while applying and rinsing. This low-viscosity solution is designed to be used as a mask.Don't leave on for more than 10 minutes.

We don't recommend using this product more than twice a week. Limit the product's frequency and duration of contact with skin. If irritation develops, stop using and contact a doctor. Only use as indicated on intact skin. We recommend doing a skin test before use. For a detailed guide to the skin test process, see DECIEM's website.
Keep away from children.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just works So helpful when your skin is dull and needs a refresh. The solution is strong so I don't use it often but it works like nothing else to get rid of all the build up on your skin that cleanser and toner can't buff. I use at night and use suncream the next day.

How many drops should you use when applying? 

Asked by: Anonymous
I don't count drops but instead I pipette it straight on the face making 2 inch lines... one on the forehead, one diagonally down each cheek, on vertically down the nose, one across the chin and a bit above my lip. I think it works out about two pipettes full. I then gently rub in circular motions ensuring not to get any under the eye area. Sorry for the bad explanation... I hope that makes sense a little bit!

Hi, After using this, can i use a retinoid or retinol toner?   Or can is it safe to use the retinoid or retinol toner before the niacinimide and zinc?  I have a really bad acne prone skin and it’s depressing! 

Asked by: Anonymous
As you wash this off, there is no deactivation so yes you can use a retinol after however beware of irritation as always when using retinols

Can I use lactic acid or retinoid after using this? Thanks

Asked by: Anonymous
Hi, Thanks for reaching out to us. The brand advise the following: "A customer can use the The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution and then they should be able to use any of our Granactive Retinoid formulas afterwards without any problems. If they were using a retinol, it might be advisable to not use them on the same night just in case they experience irritation. We wouldn’t recommend using the lactic acid at all with the AHA peel as they are both exfoliating options and doing so risks over-exfoliating the skin, so we would recommend to use EITHER the peel OR the lactic acid formula." I hope this helps! Thanks, Chloe - Beauty Expert

My hand have some pigmentationnon their and have slightly beckme damadhed because im always cleaning and working.. can inuse this on my hands

Asked by: Anonymous
Hi, Thanks for reaching out to us. The brand advises the following: "This product is not officially tested for use on the hands, so it should be used on this area at the customers discretion. As it hasn't been tested for use on the hands, we cannot claim that this product is safe for use on that area, however, logically it should be fine as skin on our hands tends to be thicker and less sensitive that skin on our face." I hope this helps! Thanks, Chloe - Beauty Expert
