acid toners & serums
AHA'S COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. (LIGHTER SKIN CAN TOLERATE GLYCOLIC, DARKER SKIN TYPES FAVOR LACTIC OR MANDELIC).
BHA'S ARE OIL-SOLUBLE, AND GREAT FOR PORES/SEBUM/ACNE.
PHA'S ARE SUPER GENTLE BECAUSE OF THEIR LARGE MOLECULAR SIZE.
HYALURONIC ACID (HA) IS NOT AN ACID (FOR HYDRATION).
TRANEXAMIC ACID (TXA) IS NOT AN ACID (FOR HYPERPIGMENTATION).
pigmentation serums
THESE. ARE. NOT. SKIN. BLEACHERS!
THEY MAKE SKIN MORE EVENLY TONED (BY AFFECTING ENZYMATIC STEPS IN THE MELANIN PROCESS). THESE ARE GREATLY AFFECTED BY AGE, ETHNICITY, INFLAMMATION, AND HORMONES (UM HELLO MELASMA!). MULTIPLE TREATMENTS (IE MICRONEEDLING, AND LASERS) IN ADDITION TO SKINCARE IS OFTEN NEEDED. ADD RETINOIDS AND SUNBLOCK TO YOUR CART IF YOU NEED ANY OF THESE!
