    Is it normal for the skin to sting after cleansing with glycolic acid 7%?

    glycolic acid 7 %? It goes away after 5 minutes, but it stings quite a bit right after.

      Hi Dina😊 This is a facial toner with active ingredients that should not be used as a cleansing product. Glycolic Acid is a toner that should be used a maximum of once a day, on dry skin after cleansing with a mild cleanser. I recommend that you gradually acclimate your skin to the product to build up tolerance. Start with 2-3 evenings a week and then increase usage by one extra evening per week 😊 Products with glycolic acid tend to "tingle" or itch a bit on the skin at first after application, so this is completely normal and should subside within the first hour 😊 If you experience discomfort, severe itching, or irritation, you should stop using it, as this is a sign that your skin cannot tolerate such a high concentration of the acid 👋 Wishing you a nice day ahead 🤗

    The best I've ever tried

    I've gotten such nice smooth skin from this product. At first, I had a lot of big pimples, but I didn't give up and I'm so glad I didn't because the result is absolutely incredible. I can't praise it enough. You who give up after a few pimples, don't do it; the skin cleanses itself and that's why you get so many pimples before you get completely smooth skin. I'm saved. Smaller pores, smooth even skin in about 1.5 months.

    What can you combine with?

    I have very good experience with this product. At first, I got a lot of pimples, still have some on my chin. After that, my skin has become so smooth and nice on my cheeks. What I'm wondering is what can I combine with this? I want an even skin tone and this helps a lot, but I want to add more products.

      Hi Dina It’s completely normal to experience a detox when starting products with high niacinamide content, and as you said, this gets much better over time Since I don’t know enough about your skin type/condition and the products you use in your daily routine, it’s hard for me to recommend products that ensure the results you’re looking for.
