How do I gradually introduce products into my routine?Updated 4 months ago
Applies to products with these active ingredients: All acids (except HA) + Retinoids.
Toning Pads (II), Liquid Gold, Glow Peel Pads, Brightening Facial Wash, Clenziderm, RetinAL Skin Therapy
To minimize sensitivity (dryness, redness, irritation), we recommend gradually introducing new products with actives mentioned above. Start with using ANY new product 3 days/week on alternating days. If adding in more than one new product, start each product the same way, but on different days. Follow that schedule for 2 weeks. If the product usage allows for more frequent use and your skin feels normal (balanced, healthy, hydrated) with no sensitivity, then increase usage frequency by one day (so up to 4 days/week). Continue that introduction method as tolerated. If you are happy with the way your skin looks and feels with a few times/week of usage, then you do not HAVE to keep increasing frequency of use.
