8% Beta Hydroxy (salicylic acid) Serum
Description
Description
pH 2.3
Our beta-hydroxy serums are salicylic acid-based at a low pH level.
Deep clean your pores with the strength of your choice, 3-4 times per week to keep deeply embedded sebum and dirt under control.
Additionally, for clients with extremely oily skin, our serum can be used as a first step before using our lactic and glycolic acid peels.
This is an EFFECTIVE acid based product.
We have formulated these products at a safe percentage, but a low pH level to ensure good acidity without irritation.
CAUTION: THIS IS NOT A LEAVE-ON SERUM... IT MUST BE RINSED. SEE UNDER INSTRUCTION TAB ABOVE.
As with any acid-based product, be sure to patch-test your skin and discontinue use if irritation develops.
Acne sufferers:
It takes approximately 2-3 weeks for pores to decongest, so please be patient as the product is working to open your pores and clean deeply embedded dirt and sebum.
Directions for use:
Always patch test!
Patch test the areas you plan to treat. If you are doing a facial peel, patch test a small area, about the size of a quarter near the jawline. Follow the directions, below, rinse thoroughly then wait 24-48 hours to make sure your skin tolerates the peeling serum nicely
Directions for doing your peel:
Cleanse your skin with a non-acid cleanser. We recommend our Green Tea Pomegranate Cleanser. Rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry.
pH Prep Solution – Dispense onto a cotton ball or pad and wipe your face to remove oils and dirt from the skin’s surface. If your skin is dry or sensitive this step can be omitted or substituted with Witch Hazel.
Your first efforts at peeling: Begin with fewer minutes to ensure a safe experience. Then increase the on-skin-time as your own sensitivity levels allow.
Apply the peeling serum. Begin at the forehead and work your way down the face, using thin layers of serum. Don’t rub the serum into the face. Just apply topically, making sure your skin is nicely covered with a thin layer(s).
Leave the peel on for up to 3-5 minutes.
Rinse with warm-to-cool water and cleanse again if desired. Make sure the serum has been completely removed from your skin. We offer a stand-alone Post Peel Neutralizer if you’d like to use it to ensure proper neutralization. Moisturize with a non-acid, non-retinoid moisturizer. We offer Argan Oil and Green Tea Moisturizer.
After the peel:
Your skin may feel warm or appear pink. This is normal. However if, during the above process, your skin burns remove the peel immediately with cool water and/or use our Post Peel Neutralizer to stop the peel from processing. The above peels may not produce much in the way of visible peeling, but they are indeed rapidly exfoliating your skin. You will feel the softness immediately post-peel and most certainly the next morning. Your pores will be clean and skin texture will be more refined and radiant.
Always use an SPF of at least 30 for several days after peeling. Freshly peel skin is photosensitive and needs SPF protection. If your foundation contains an SPF factor of 30+, this is acceptable as well.
Use weekly for 8-10 weeks to see optimal results.
