Clinician's note
“We recommend pausing this mask for 7 days before and after any in-clinic chemical peel, microneedling, or laser treatment. Using an additional acid mask too close to a clinical procedure can compromise both the outcome and skin barrier integrity.”

Questions answered
Common questions.
Once per week is the recommended frequency. If you are using other actives (retinol, Vitamin C), or if your skin is sensitive, start with once every 10 days and increase as tolerated. More frequent use does not accelerate results and can disrupt the barrier.
We advise against it without a consultation. Alpha hydroxy acids can trigger flushing and sensitivity in rosacea-prone skin. Please speak with one of our clinicians before incorporating this mask into your routine.
