It’s often tricky to exfoliate sensitive skin types, as traditional AHAs like Glycolic Acid work too quickly and result in a stimulation response that a regular skin type wouldn’t experience.  For our Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic, we chose to focus on Lactic Acid. Lactic Acid tends to be a larger molecule and therefore takes a little bit longer to work, so it essentially eliminates the skin’s AHA ‘shock’ that other AHA’s can trigger.

If your skin is particularly sensitive or sensitized, we recommend trying out our Evercalm range first to strengthen your skin, and to be aware of what other products you might be using that are stimulating your skin such as exfoliants, cloth cleansers, retinoids or Vitamin C.

Everyone’s skin is different, and you can of course react to any natural ingredient depending on your personal, physiological make-up. So, we always recommend a patch test if you’re concerned about how your skin is going to react to a new formula. While tingling and a slight flush of color can be a normal reaction to AHAs and Vitamin C treatment products, redness and burning is not! If you experience redness or burning, we recommend you stop using the product, or try limiting use to once or twice a week and building up your usage gradually. 

What if I over-do it on exfoliation?

If you have accidently over done it, scale back on all exfoliation & retinoids for at least a week or two, and add in calming products, like our Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask, which can be used a few times a week until skin is restored! 

Absolutely! Our Ready Steady Glow contains Lactic Acid and skin friendly Azelaic Acid Precursor.  These are generally better tolerated on a more sensitive or sensitized skin.  While glycolic acid is super effective (we use it in our fast-working Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask), it is a smaller molecule and penetrates deeper and faster, which might be too speedy for a sensitive skin to adjust to. 

As both products are exfoliants and we don’t want to over-exfoliate your skin, we’d recommend alternating between them. Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic is formulated to reveal your glow with daily use, while Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask gives you an instant glow when you need an extra boost. If your skin can usually tolerate AHA treatments, you might be able to handle Glycol Lactic Mask in the PM, and then use Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic in the AM. But only a few times per week.
