RETIN A PREPARING LOTION 60ml

Описание

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
• Clients preparing for at-home peels or professional facial treatments
• 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.
