Product Overview:
AHA 8 Astringent is formulated as an introductory glycolic product suitable for use on various skin types and conditions. Its low pH and moderate glycolic acid content is a perfect combination to be used on new clients as well as experienced glycolic users. For new users, it is essential to remind them that a slight tingle is normal and will subside within a few minutes. If discomfort continues, applying a cotton ball soaked in water over the entire face can help reduce the effects of the glycolic acid and stop its action.
It takes time for new users or those with sensitive skin to become familiar with alpha hydroxy acids, so patience and education are key. The following sample protocols will help guide you.
Starter Guidelines:
Normal or Dry Skin: Use a cotton round on a dry face, apply a liberal amount of AHA 8 astringent, and gently apply it to your face. Allow to air dry before the following product. Do not repeat.
Oily Skin / Acne: Use a cotton round on a dry face and apply a liberal amount of AHA 8 astringent. Allow to air dry before the following product. Repeat twice if excessive oil remains.

Sensitive Skin: Use a cotton round on a dry face, apply a small amount of AHA 8 astringent. Do not let air dry. Allow it to stand for a minute or two, then proceed with the water-soaked cotton ball. Let it air dry. Continue with treatment protocols. The goal is to gain the benefits from the active ingredient without causing too much irritation.
