Acids in skincare can do wonders for your skin, from anti-aging, clearing up acne to brightening your complexion. However, if you're new to acids, it's important to use them correctly to avoid irritation. Here’s a simple guide to help you get started.
1. Start with a Gentle Acid
For beginners, start with milder acids like lactic or mandelic acid, which are less likely to irritate sensitive skin. You can also try DESLY’s retinol, which uses Liposome Technology to reduce redness and irritation by 50% compared to other retinol types.
2. Start Slowly
When introducing an acid into your routine, start by using it 2-3 times for first week and gradually building up to daily. Adjust the frequency based on skin condition.
3. Moisturize
Acids can sometimes dry out your skin, so make sure to follow up with hydrating products.
Look for products with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or Vitamin B3/B5/Sodium Hyaluronate to keep your skin balanced
4. Avoid using with acid serums at the same time.
If using Desly's lactic acid & retinol serums or other acid serums, avoid using with acid serums at the same time. For example, use lactic acid in the morning and retinol at night.
