FAQs
Can I use the Silkfoliant every day?
Yes, it is formulated as a daily toner, though individuals with sensitive skin should start by using it 2-3 times a week to assess tolerance.
Does this product help with dark spots?
The antioxidant-rich butterfly pea flower extract helps defend against future discolouration while the acid blend works to brighten the overall skin tone.
Should I apply this before or after my serum?
Apply the toner directly after cleansing on clean, dry skin. Follow up with your serums and moisturizer once the toner has fully absorbed.
Is this safe for acne-prone skin?
Yes, the inclusion of salicylic acid is effective for decongesting pores and helping to clear out impurities, which benefits acne-prone skin.
Do I need to wear sunscreen while using this?
Yes, chemical exfoliants increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Daily application of SPF is highly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Skin feels tingling or slightly red after application
This is normal for high-acid formulas. If the sensation persists or turns into burning, rinse immediately with cool water and reduce frequency to every other day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Start with a freshly cleansed face, ensuring all makeup and debris have been removed.
Application: Soak a cotton pad or reusable cloth with the toner and sweep it across your face and neck. Do not rinse it off.
Compatibility: Follow with your preferred serum and moisturizer. Because this contains active acids, it is recommended to avoid using other potent actives like concentrated retinol or high-strength Vitamin C at the exact same time to prevent irritation.
Sun Protection: As with all chemical exfoliants, the use of SPF is essential during the day, as acids can increase the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation.
Storage: Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the botanical ingredients.
