<b>Who is the 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel for?</b>
<br>
This AHA BHA peel is suitable for all skin types. It’s ideal for advanced signs of aging, sun damage, severely clogged pores, or for anyone who simply wants to try an effective at-home peel.
<br>
Can I use other products after using the 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant peel?</b>
<br>
Yes, most people can use other products (including those with other active ingredients, except for other exfoliants) after using this peel. Because the peel is rinsed from skin, it is fine to follow up with other boosters, serums or treatments. In fact, with routine use, this peel will help your leave-on treatments work even better. As a standard precaution, do pay attention to how your skin responds to your actives and adjust application frequency as needed.
<br>
<b>Can you use 25% AHA + 2% BHA after exfoliating?</b>
<br>
No, you should not use this rinse-off peel after exfoliating. It’s designed to be used weekly in place of your usual exfoliant to complement your current exfoliation routine. You can use the peel as your only exfoliant but alternating it with one of our leave-on options delivers more consistent results by maintaining skin’s natural exfoliation levels. If you have particularly stubborn concerns, experiment to see what works best for you.
<br>
<b>Is the 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel safe for those with darker skin tones?</b>

<b>What to use after this AHA BHA peel?</b>

<br>
<b>What NOT to use after this AHA BHA peel?</b>
<br>
You can use most skin care ingredients and products after using 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel, layering from thinnest to thickest texture. As mentioned above, avoid using your daily and weekly exfoliant in the same routine.

<br>
<b>Can I use niacinamide after this AHA BHA peel?</b>
<br>
Yes, you can use niacinamide after using this AHA BHA peel. Niacinamide not only complements the peel’s pore-refining capabilities, but it also helps strengthen skin’s barrier. We always recommend paying attention to how your skin responds to this combination and adjust as needed. If using a high concentration of niacinamide, or when using these products for the first time, consider patch testing first before applying over your entire face.
<br>
<b>Can I use hyaluronic acid after this AHA BHA peel?</b>
<br>
Yes, you can use hyaluronic acid after using this AHA BHA peel. Hyaluronic acid’s hydration-boosting abilities enhance the natural glow the peel provides. We always recommend paying attention to how your skin responds to this combination and adjust as needed. When using these products for the first time, consider patch testing first before applying over your entire face.
<br>
<b>Can I use retinol after this AHA BHA peel? </b>
<br>
Yes, you can use retinol after using this AHA BHA peel. Retinol’s texture-smoothing and skin-restoring properties build on the peel’s ability to address advanced signs of aging. We always recommend paying attention to how your skin responds to this combination and adjust as needed. If using a high concentration of retinol, or when using these products for the first time, consider patch testing first before applying over your entire face.
<br>
<b>Can I use a vitamin C serum after this AHA BHA peel?</b>
<br>
Yes, you can use vitamin C serums or other vitamin C products after this AHA BHA peel. We always recommend paying attention to how your skin responds to this combination and adjust as needed. If using a high concentration of vitamin C, or when using these products for the first time, consider patch testing first before applying over your entire face.
<br>
<b>If I’m already getting professional peels from my doctor/esthetician, can I use this in between peel sessions?</b>
<br>
We recommend checking with your doctor or esthetician for their advice in terms of post-care products. If a series of peels are administered, you should be able to use the 25% AHA+2% BHA peel after the series ends.
<br>
<b>Can I use AHA BHA after IPL and laser hair removal treatments?</b>
<br>
We recommend discussing this with your technician since IPL and laser hair removal treatments can vary.
