Protocols for Professionals

First, we will review the protocols for each Active Bar range. Then, we will provide the combination protocols to address more possibilities and professional treatments.

Glycolic acid and mandelic acid:

Start with clean, dry skin. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Apply a small amount of serum to your face, avoiding the eye area. Start with a patch test on a small area of your skin before using it on your entire face to check for any adverse reactions.
Wait for the serum to absorb into your skin thoroughly. Depending on the amount, this may take a few minutes.
Follow up with your regular moisturizer, sunscreen, and other skincare products.
Suppose you are new to using products containing glycolic acid and mandelic acid. In that case, starting with a lower concentration and gradually increasing the strength as your skin becomes more accustomed to it is recommended. Be sure to follow the recommended usage frequency, as overuse of these acids may cause irritation and damage to the skin.
It's also important to note that glycolic acid and mandelic acid products can increase sun sensitivity, so wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Everyone's skin is different, so consult a dermatologist if you have any concerns about using a serum containing glycolic acid and mandelic acid, especially if you have sensitive skin or are already using other exfoliating products.

Salicylic acid and niacinamide:

1. Start with clean, dry skin. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry with a clean towel.

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate is a water-soluble derivative of azelaic acid, an ingredient commonly used in skincare products to help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne, and inflammation.

1. Start with clean, dry skin. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry with a clean towel.

5. Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate has been shown to have brightening and skin-soothing benefits, making it a good option for those with sensitive or reactive skin.

6. If you are new to using products containing Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, it's recommended to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase the strength as your skin becomes more accustomed to it. Be sure to follow the recommended usage frequency, as overuse of any ingredient may cause irritation and damage to the skin.

Remember, everyone's skin is different, so be sure to consult with a dermatologist if you have any concerns about using a serum containing Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, especially if you have sensitive skin or if you are already using other exfoliating products.

Alpha Arbutin and Tranexamic Acid:

1. Start with clean, dry skin. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry with a clean towel.

4. Follow up with your regular moisturizer, sunscreen, and any other skincare products you use.

5. Alpha Arbutin and Tranexamic Acid are both ingredients that are known for their ability to help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Alpha Arbutin is derived from the bearberry plant and works by inhibiting the production of melanin in the skin, while Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic ingredient that can help reduce inflammation and prevent the formation of dark spots.

6. If you are new to using products containing Alpha Arbutin and Tranexamic Acid, it's recommended to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase the strength as your skin becomes more accustomed to it. Be sure to follow the recommended usage frequency, as overuse of any ingredient may cause irritation and damage to the skin.

Remember, everyone's skin is different, so be sure to consult with a dermatologist if you have any concerns about using a serum containing Alpha Arbutin and Tranexamic Acid, especially if you have sensitive skin or if you are already using other exfoliating products.

Niacinamide and N-Acetyl Glucosamine:

1. Start with clean, dry skin. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry with a clean towel.

2. Apply a small amount of the serum to your face, avoiding the eye area. Start with a patch test on a small area of your skin before using it on your entire face to check for any adverse reactions.

3. Wait for the serum to fully absorb into your skin. Depending on the product, this may take a few minutes.

4. Follow up with your regular moisturizer, sunscreen, and any other skincare products you use.

5. Niacinamide and N-Acetyl Glucosamine are both ingredients that can help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, helps to reduce the appearance of pores, uneven texture, and fine lines. N-Acetyl Glucosamine, a derivative of glucose, works by inhibiting melanin production in the skin, which can lead to a more even skin tone.

6. If you are new to using products containing Niacinamide and N-Acetyl Glucosamine, it's recommended to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase the strength as your skin becomes more accustomed to it. Be sure to follow the recommended usage frequency as overuse of any ingredient may cause irritation and damage to the skin.

7. Niacinamide and N-Acetyl Glucosamine are generally well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it's always best to consult a dermatologist if you have concerns about using a serum containing these ingredients.

8. It's also important to note that products containing Niacinamide and N-Acetyl Glucosamine can increase sun sensitivity, so be sure to wear sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
