How to use it?

We recommend introducing this agent gradually. Start by applying for an hour on the dark spots only at night. If you notice redness or irritation, was off and mix it with bland moisturising cream. Gradually, increase the concentration. If you cannot tolerate this product with mixing, then continue use with dilution only. Gradually build up the time from 1 to 3 hours and then, overnight every 3-7 days depending on the tolerability.

AHA increases sensitivity to the sun, make sure you wear a good quality sunscreen daily. If you notice that your skin is getting slight red, irritated or itchy on prolonged use, skip this product for a week to give a break to the skin. Stop using this product 3 days prior to using a harsh treatment like bleach or waxing on your face.
