PRO TIPS
 
• 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.
• If going through a peel series, have them use pads twice per day then use as needed once the desired correction is reached.
• May be used to degrease the acid mantel before a peel or to help add brightening before an enzyme.
• Not recommended to use before a dermaplaning unless oil planing.
• 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.
 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
 
Swipe pad over clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Use 2-3 times per week, or as directed, gradually increasing to daily use as tolerated. Apply an SPF in the AM when using this product.
KEY INGREDIENTS
• Alpha-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 stimulates cellular turnover, collagen production, and reduces visible signs of aging.
