Product Information

Full details

The ALPHA Essential Renewal Lotion is a specialized anti-aging treatment formulated for adults with normal to dry skin who want to target fine lines and improve skin texture. By utilizing 10% Glycolic Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) at a precise pH of 4.0, this fragrance-free lotion promotes cell turnover and collagen production for a more youthful appearance. While highly effective at exfoliating, users must be diligent about applying sunscreen during the day, as the AHAs can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.

FAQs

Can I use this lotion every day?

Yes, it is designed for regular use, but if you have never used AHA products before, it is recommended to start every other day to let your skin build tolerance.

Is it necessary to use sunscreen with this product?

Absolutely. Because glycolic acid removes the outer layer of dead skin, your fresh skin underneath is more sensitive to sun damage and requires SPF protection.

Can I use this on my neck and chest?

Yes, the formula is safe for the face, neck, and chest area, where signs of aging are often most visible.

What should I do if I get it in my eyes?

Rinse your eyes immediately and thoroughly with cool water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Is this product effective for acne?

While it can help refine skin texture and clear out pores, it is primarily marketed as an anti-aging formula. Consult with a dermatologist for specific acne treatments.

Does this replace my moisturizer?

It provides exfoliation and renewal. Depending on your skin's dryness level, you may wish to apply a richer moisturizer over it once it has fully absorbed.

Troubleshooting

Slight tingling sensation upon application

This is a normal reaction to the 10% Glycolic Acid; if it persists or becomes painful, rinse off with cool water and use less frequently until your skin adjusts.

Skin feeling dry or flaky

Over-exfoliation can cause dryness. Reduce usage to every other day and ensure you are using a hydrating moisturizer alongside your SPF.

Increased redness after sun exposure

Your skin is more sensitive due to the AHAs. Increase your sunscreen application, wear a hat, and limit direct sun exposure during peak hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This lotion is best suited for adults with normal to dry skin. It is compatible with most moisturizing routines but should not be mixed with other high-concentration acids or physical scrubs to avoid over-exfoliation. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the AHA formula. Since the product contains a high concentration of acids, perform a patch test on your inner arm before applying it to your face to ensure your skin tolerates the formula well.
