How to Use: The Disciplined Exfoliation Protocol
CRITICAL FIRST STEP – Patch Test & Acclimation:

1.    Patch Test: Apply to a small area on the neck or jaw for 3 consecutive nights.
   

2.    Start Slow: If new to acids, begin using ONCE PER WEEK in the evening.
   

Standard Application (For Acclimated Skin):

1.    Cleanse: Use a gentle, non-exfoliating cleanser. Pat skin completely dry. Applying to damp skin increases penetration and potential irritation.
   

2.    Apply: Soak a cotton pad and gently sweep over the face, neck, and chest, avoiding the eye contour and lips. Do not scrub.
   

3.    Wait: Allow it to dry fully (1-2 minutes).
   

4.    Follow & Protect: Continue with the rest of your evening routine (serums, moisturizer). MANDATORY: The next morning, and EVERY SINGLE DAY, you must apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+. AHAs significantly increase sun sensitivity.
   

Frequency Guide (Build Gradually):
• Beginner/ Sensitive: 1-2 nights per week.
• Normal/ Resilient: 3-5 nights per week, max.
• Never use more than once in a 24-hour period.
