    AC Glow Essence is the ultimate serum for achieving a healthy, radiant complexion by stimulating skin cell turnover, boosting collagen production and controlling excess oil.

     

    As we age, our skin cell turnover rate decreases, leading to dull, uneven, and wrinkled skin with a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface. Retinol helps maintain a healthy cell turnover rate, encouraging your body to generate fresh, new skin cells more quickly.

     

    Keep in mind that retinol may cause skin irritation, particularly during initial use. To minimize this, allow your skin an adjustment period by starting with a small amount and gradually increasing usage over time.

    Patience and consistency are key when incorporating retinol into your routine!

    🤓 More geeky details about Retinol in this post!

    Vitamin C derivative, Squalane, and Hyaluronic Acid are encapsulated in liposomal capsules for better absorption into the skin. These soothing and hydrating ingredients prevent or reduce irritation that may occur with retinol use.

     

    ⚠️ Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

  • How to Use

    🌙

    In the evening, after washing your face and applying a toner or any other serums you may be using, 

    Apply an appropriate amount of AC Glow, either mixed with your moisturizer or directly to your skin on its own, depending on your retinol tolerance level. 

     

    ⚠️ Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

    ⚠️ To ensure optimal results and minimize potential retinoid reactions, please follow these guidelines when using AC Glow:

    • Evening use only: Retinol loses effectiveness when exposed to sunlight, so apply the product only in the evening as part of your nighttime skincare routine.

    • Refrigerate after opening: Store AC Glow in the refrigerator once opened to maintain its quality and efficacy.

    • Introduce retinol slowly: To avoid retinoid reactions such as dryness, irritation, and flaky skin, gradually incorporate the product into your routine. Start by mixing 1-2 drops (very small amount) with your moisturizer and applying it to your face at the end of your routine.

    • Monitor skin reaction: Retinoid reactions may take time to appear, so use a small amount of the product for about 2 weeks and observe how your skin responds. Everyone's skin reacts differently to retinol, so it's essential to customize your approach.

    • Gradually increase usage: Once your skin adapts to the product, you can gradually increase the amount used, eventually applying a full dropper every night. Additionally, you can apply AC Glow directly to your skin without mixing it with your moisturizer.

    • Consultation available: To ensure proper usage and address any concerns or questions, I offer consultation via email, DM, phone, or FaceTime to help guide you through the process. Message me if you have any questions.
