WHAT IT IS
A lightweight, alcohol-free prep solution from GIGI’s Retin A line. Used like a toner, it performs the crucial “first step” in professional home care: removes residues, lightly exfoliates and sets skin to its ideal acidic pH so treatment ingredients can dive deep and work harder.
WHY IT WORKS
-
5 % AHA Complex (glycolic + lactic, pH≈3.6) – loosens dull surface cells, smooths rough patches and increases product absorption.
-
Witch-Hazel Water – natural astringent that lifts residual sebum and tightens the look of pores.
-
Niacinamide 4 % – reinforces the barrier, evens tone and calms redness before stronger actives.
-
Aloe & Allantoin – soothe, hydrate and keep the pre-treatment step comfortable for sensitive users.
WHO WILL LOVE IT
• Normal, combination or oily skin starting a Retin A or AHA regimen

• Dull, congested complexions wanting better penetration from serums and masks

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will it sting?
A brief tingle is normal; it should fade within a minute. If strong burning occurs, rinse off and reduce frequency.
Can sensitive skin use it?
Yes—start twice a week and build up slowly. Aloe and allantoin cushion the acids to keep irritation low.
Do I still need a toner?
This lotion replaces your regular toner on the nights you use it; simply cleanse, swipe, then apply treatment products.
