Product Information

Full details

This two-step skincare system is designed for individuals seeking to achieve smoother, brighter, and deeply hydrated skin. The key benefit is the dual action of gentle exfoliation and intense moisture replenishment, leading to improved skin texture and radiance. A potential caveat is the need for careful introduction of the AHA exfoliant to avoid over-sensitization, especially for those new to chemical exfoliants. The set includes an 8% AHA Liquid Exfoliant for resurfacing and a 7% Ectoin Booster serum for hydration and barrier support.

FAQs

How often should I use the 8% AHA Liquid Exfoliant?

Start by using it 2-3 times per week in the evening. You can gradually increase frequency to every other night or nightly if your skin tolerates it well. Always listen to your skin and reduce use if irritation occurs.

Can I use the Ectoin Booster serum in the morning?

Yes, the 7% Ectoin Booster is excellent for morning use to provide hydration and support the skin barrier throughout the day. It can also be layered under sunscreen.

What is the order of application for these two products?

Cleanse your skin. Apply the 8% AHA Liquid Exfoliant first, allowing it to absorb. Follow with the 7% Ectoin Booster serum. If using other serums, apply the Ectoin Booster after them but before moisturizer.

Is this set suitable for acne-prone skin?

Yes, the AHA exfoliant can help with clogged pores and texture associated with acne. However, introduce it slowly and monitor your skin's reaction.

How long will the 10ml and 30ml bottles last?

The duration depends on your usage frequency and the amount applied. Typically, for the recommended usage of 2-3 times per week for the AHA and daily for the booster, the 30ml AHA might last several weeks to a couple of months, while the 10ml booster might last 3-4 weeks.

Do I need to wear sunscreen when using the AHA exfoliant?

Absolutely. AHAs increase skin's sensitivity to the sun. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is crucial when using this product.

Can I combine this with other exfoliating products?

It's generally not recommended to combine multiple strong exfoliants (like other AHAs, BHAs, or physical scrubs) on the same night, as this can lead to over-exfoliation and irritation. Use this set as your primary exfoliation method.

Troubleshooting

Skin irritation or redness after using AHA Exfoliant

Reduce frequency of AHA use to once or twice a week. Ensure you are not using other strong exfoliants or active ingredients concurrently. Apply the Ectoin Booster generously afterward for soothing hydration. Always use SPF during the day.

Product feels sticky or heavy

Ensure you are using the correct amount of product. A small amount of the AHA Exfoliant is sufficient. Allow each product to fully absorb before applying the next. If the Ectoin Booster feels heavy, use a smaller amount.

Lack of visible results

Consistency is key. Ensure you are using the products regularly as directed for at least 4-6 weeks. Review your overall skincare routine to ensure no other products are interfering with the efficacy of this set.

Bottle dispenser issues

Ensure the pump or cap is properly aligned and secured. If a pump is clogged, try gently rinsing the nozzle with warm water (external only) and drying thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Gently exfoliates without harsh scrubbing.
  • Provides significant hydration and strengthens skin barrier.
  • Improves skin texture and radiance.
  • Combines two complementary skincare steps into one set.
  • Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive.

Cons

  • AHA exfoliant requires gradual introduction to prevent irritation.
  • Small sample sizes might not be sufficient for long-term evaluation.
  • Results may take consistent use over several weeks.
  • May not be potent enough for severe textural concerns.
  • Requires diligent sunscreen use due to AHA content.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure both bottles are clean and sealed before first use.

Compatibility: This set is designed for all skin types. However, it's recommended to patch-test if you have very sensitive skin. The AHA exfoliant should be used cautiously with other strong actives like retinoids or vitamin C to avoid irritation. Always follow AHA use with broad-spectrum SPF during the day.

Care: Store both products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep lids tightly closed when not in use. Clean the outside of the bottles with a dry or slightly damp cloth if needed. Avoid introducing water or contaminants into the bottles.
