Chemical vs Physical

Chemical exfoliants use acids to remove bonds that hold dull and dead cells together, while physical exfoliants use small particles to scrub cells off the surface. Acid Potion chemically exfoliates without the risk of micro‑tears.

AHAs — Glycolic Acid helps break down water bonds that hold dead and healthy cells together, and supports collagen production. Lactic Acid helps encourage cellular turnover.

BHA — Salicylic Acid (derived from Willow Bark) dissolves dead skin cells and oil on the surface of the skin, while unclogging and reducing the appearance of pores for smoother skin.

FAQs

Is Acid Potion safe for acne prone skin?

Acne prone skin benefits from liquid exfoliation, especially Salicylic Acid since it works inside the pore. A chemical exfoliator exfoliates without micro-tears and helps skin texture. If you are new to Acids, you may experience purging if they are not used to exfoliating – this should resolve within a week.
Does Acid Potion increase photosensitivity?

Yes, please always wear SPF if you are using Acid Potion BHA liquid exfoliant. This is true with any exfoliating product - your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Also, if you are battling discoloration, SPF should be an essential part of your regimen.
Is Acid Potion OK to use with a Retin-A treatment for acne?

We do not recommend combining our beauty potion with any retinoid treatment for acne, especially if you have sensitive skin. We recommend using Acid Potion on a day when you are not using a retinoid treatment.
How do I use Acid Potion?

Depending on your skin type, use our liquid exfoliator 1-3 nights in a row or every night. Shake into palm and apply onto clean face/neck with fingertips or a cotton pad. Don’t rinse! Follow with Plump Jelly.
Is Acid Potion a toner?

Nope. Acid Potion is a chemical exfoliator – think of it as a liquid facial. It shouldn’t be used in place of a toner in your skin care routine. It should be used on clean skin and follow it up with something hydrating after like Plump Jelly.
