It is advisable to begin with a gradual approach, such as twice a week. Depending on skin tolerance, the frequency can be increased to daily use.

Is the AHA night cream suitable for every skin type?

This night cream is suitable for skin types concerned with blackheads, visible pores, or lack of radiance. It is not recommended for sensitive or reactive skin.

Is the AHA night cream non-comedogenic?

Occlusive elements such as mineral oils have been excluded from the products to prevent imperfections. It is recommended to verify that the compatible skin type matches yours and to review the list of prohibited ingredients here: https://www.typology.com/carnet/notre-liste-dingredients-prohibes.

Is the AHA night cream appropriate for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

The exfoliating night cream is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This information is included in the precautions for use section on the product page.

Is the AHA night cream compatible with skin affected by rosacea or couperose?

The exfoliating night cream has not been tested on skin with this condition, so consulting a dermatologist is recommended.

What distinguishes this cream from the exfoliating serum, and which is preferable for minimal product use?

Both the Exfoliating Night Cream and the Exfoliating Serum provide exfoliating benefits but differ in active ingredient concentration and formulation. The cream contains 6% AHA and lavender extract, designed for nighttime use to tighten pores, reduce blackheads, and enhance radiance. It suits all skin types except sensitive ones, offering gentle exfoliation. The serum has a higher glycolic acid concentration at 10%, targeting blackheads and uneven texture. It is for evening use and suits oily, dry, and combination skin, but not sensitive or atopic skin. For those preferring fewer products, selecting one that addresses specific skin concerns is key. If the goal is smoother, more radiant skin with softness and hydration, the night cream may be the best choice, providing effective exfoliation and moisturization.

Exfoliating Night Cream - with 6% AHA and lavender extract

DIRECTIONS

Highly concentrated in AHA, this night cream eliminates dead skin and delivers an exfoliating benefit. It helps prevent blackheads and dilated pores overtime.

How to apply the night cream
In the evening only, apply a dab of cream on your cleansed and dried face, after your usual serum. Gently massage with circular movements until the cream has completely penetrated.
Start with a progressive application: twice a week. Then increase the frequency to a daily application.
This night cream contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) which may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and in particular the possibility of sunburn. Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product and for one week afterwards.
Is this cream adapted to your skin typology?
This night cream is suitable for all skin typologies concerned by blackheads, visible pores or a lack of radiance in the complexion.
However, due to its high concentration in AHA, its use is not recommended for sensitive skin.
Precautions
This product contains an essential oil. Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing. Do not use on children under 6 years old.
Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
Stop using this night cream if you feel discomfort or irritation.
This night cream contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) which may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and in particular the possibility of sunburn. Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure when using this product and for one week afterwards.
As this night cream is highly concentrated in active ingredients, it is not compatible with the use of another product containing AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, tartaric acid, etc.) or BHAs (salicylic acid). In this case, alternate their use every other day so as not to exacerbate the exfoliating action of these acids.
To reduce the risk of skin irritation, do not apply multiple products containing AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid, etc.) and/or retinoids (retinol, retinyl esters...) in the same evening.

EXFOLIATING

There are approximately 300,000 pores on the face. These small channels allow sebum to flow, but sometimes become dilated or blocked by an accumulation of dead cells, causing blackheads to appear.

Using this cream at night allows gentle exfoliation of the superficial layers of the epidermis to unclog pores and renew skin.

Principal actives
Glycolic acid (5%):
This AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) is the benchmark of chemical exfoliants.
Known for its resurfacing action as well as its astringent and de-crusting virtues, glycolic acid helps to reduce the presence of blackheads and to tighten dilated pores. By breaking the bonds between the cells on the surface of the skin, this active ingredient helps to eliminate the layer of dead cells. This will unclog pores and stimulate the production of new cells for a smoother, brighter complexion.
Mandelic Acid (1%):
This AHA is larger in size than glycolic acid and penetrates less deeply into the epidermis, providing a more superficial exfoliation. The skin surface is renewed and smoothed.
Pink grapefruit extract:
Rich in fruit acids, flavonoids and vitamins, this naturally derived active ingredient promotes skin cell renewal, reduces the appearance of pores and eliminates dead cells.
Lavender essential oil:
Obtained by distillation of lavender flowers, this essential oil is known for its purifying and regenerating properties.

Very good for reducing pimples and blackheads. But be careful, when a pimple is raw, it stings when you put the product on it, but it only lasts a minute.
