If you're experiencing any of the following: irritation, redness, skin feels tight or sensitized, small breakouts, you might be over exfoliating. If this happens, stop using R+F Multi-Acid Enzyme Peel for a few days until the skin recovers. You may re-introduce R+F Peel into your routine with once a week for the first week, twice a week for the second week and then ramping up to 3X a week as tolerated. If you are unsure if this product is right for you, consult your doctor. Reference ramp up guide for more details.
The following steps can help prevent over exfoliation:
• Ramp up usage to get skin acclimated: 1X for the first week, 2X for the second week and then ramping up to 3X a week as tolerated.
• Limit use with other products that contain chemical or physical exfoliants, until skin has acclimated.
• Do not use exfoliant products on the same day, immediately after each other. • Use exfoliating products on alternate days.
• Reduce the exfoliation of physical exfoliants by adding water and massaging gently using fingertips on wet skin.
• It’s crucial to apply a broad-spectrum SPF every morning, re-apply when out every 2 hours, and after swimming and exercise and seek shade to avoid sun sensitivity.
