Product Information
Full details
This Irene Forte Skincare Apricot Penta-Acid Polish is designed for individuals seeking a deeply cleansing and refining facial treatment. Its key benefit is the dual action of physical exfoliation from apricot seed powder and chemical exfoliation from five natural acids, leading to a smoother, rejuvenated complexion. A potential consideration is its active formulation, which requires patch testing and adherence to recommended usage frequency.

FAQs
How often should I use the Apricot Penta-Acid Polish?
You should use the product 1-2 times per week, depending on your skin type and tolerance. Monitor your skin's response and adjust frequency as needed.
Can I use this product if I have sensitive skin?
The product is dermatologically proven to be non-irritant. However, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying it to your entire face, especially if you have very sensitive skin.
What is the difference between this and a regular scrub?
This polish combines physical exfoliation from apricot seed powder with chemical exfoliation from five different acids, offering a more comprehensive and effective skin renewal treatment compared to a scrub that typically relies on physical particles alone.
How long should I leave the product on my skin?
Apply a generous layer and leave it on for 5 minutes before lightly massaging and rinsing off.
What are the benefits of gluconolactone?
Gluconolactone is a next-generation ingredient that boosts skin regeneration and repair, while also enhancing skin moisture levels and protecting collagen.
Can I use this product with other exfoliating treatments?
It's best to avoid using other strong exfoliants or active treatments on the same day as this polish to prevent over-exfoliation and potential irritation.
What is the size of the product?
The product comes in a 50ml size.
Troubleshooting
Skin feels slightly tingly during application.
This is normal due to the active acids. If the sensation becomes uncomfortable or burning, rinse off immediately with warm water. Ensure you are not using it too frequently.
Product appears to be less effective after prolonged use.
Skin can adapt to exfoliants over time. Ensure you are using the correct frequency (1-2 times per week) and consider rotating with other treatments if advised by a skincare professional.
Skin becomes red or irritated after use.
This may indicate over-exfoliation or sensitivity. Reduce usage to once a week or less, and ensure you are using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer afterward. Perform a patch test next time to confirm compatibility.
