Skin Types: All
Client Concerns: Hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne
• Use the Glycolic & Retinol Pads 2 – 3 times per week for pore refinement or acneic skin. For best penetration of this product, use with the Glycolic Cleanser and/or Retinol Exfoliating Scrub.
• For hyperpigmentation or melasma, use daily morning and evening to spot treat, applying only to pigmented areas. Reduce frequency after pigmentation has lightened.
• Do not rinse; let the product stay on the skin.
• Avoid getting into eyes. Flush completely if contact occurs.
• Always use sunscreen when using this product.
Please Note: Glycolic and Retinol Pads contain glycolic acid and retinol which give the formula its yellow color visible upon opening.
The Kojic Acid in this product is potent and highly active. While Kojic Acid does not affect the yellow color initially, over time it will darken with changes in light, pH or temperature, causing the actual pads to darken. This is normal and does not reduce the efficacy of the formula.
• Arbutin (4%) limits melanin production and reduces visible pigmentation through lightening actions and the inhibition of tyrosinase.
• Kojic Acid (3%) inhibits tyrosinase and brightens existing pigmentation naturally. It is comparable to hydroquinone without the negative side effects.
• Glycolic Acid (2%) is a deeply penetrating alpha hydroxy acid that reduces wrinkles and promotes resurfacing to refine skin texture. It provides progressive skin clearing and promotes cellular renewal that expedites the healing of breakouts.
• Retinol (1%) is a Vitamin A derivative that exfoliates to stimulate collagen production and reduce visible signs of aging.
