Instructions for Specific Skin Concerns

1. Hyperpigmentation

Purpose:

To fade dark spots, even skin tone, and prevent new pigmentation.

How to Use:

• Apply to the entire face, focusing on areas with hyperpigmentation.
• Use 2–3 times per week, increasing to nightly over 4–6 weeks.

Additional Tips:

• Combine with SPF 30+ sunscreen during the day to prevent pigmentation rebound.
• Consistency is key; noticeable improvements occur in 4–6 weeks.

2. Acne

Purpose:

To reduce inflammation, unclog pores, and prevent new breakouts.

How to Use:

• Apply a thin layer to acne-prone areas (e.g., T-zone and cheeks).
• Start with every other night, increasing to nightly as tolerated.

Additional Tips:

• Avoid using strong exfoliants or actives (e.g., AHAs/BHAs) until the skin adjusts.
• Regular use will reduce breakouts within 2–4 weeks.

3. Aging/Wrinkles

Purpose:

To stimulate collagen production and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

How to Use:

• Apply evenly across the face, focusing on wrinkle-prone areas like the forehead and crow’s feet.
• Use 2–3 times per week, increasing to nightly use after 4 weeks.

Additional Tips:

• For optimal results, pair with Vital Cream or a peptide-rich moisturizer the following day.
• Continued use will yield results in 8–12 weeks.

4. Closed Comedones/Pore Congestion

Purpose:

To unclog pores, smooth skin texture, and reduce blackheads and whiteheads.

How to Use:

• Apply a thin layer directly to congested areas like the T-zone or chin.
• Start with every other night, gradually building to nightly use.

Additional Tips:

• Avoid over-exfoliation; retinaldehyde already provides mild exfoliation.
• Expect smoother skin within 4–6 weeks.

5. Scarring

Purpose:

To improve the appearance of scars and enhance skin renewal.

How to Use:

• Apply directly to scarred areas or use a thin layer across the face for general renewal.
• Use 3 times per week, increasing to nightly as tolerated.

Additional Tips:

• Combine with BE Active Masque weekly to enhance repair.
• Consistent use for 3–6 months will yield the best results.

Is Irritation Normal?

• Mild redness, peeling, and dryness are common during the adjustment phase.
• These symptoms indicate the product is working by increasing cell turnover.

What to Do if Irritation Occurs:

1. Reduce Frequency: Use every 3rd night instead of nightly.
2. Hydrate and Repair:
3. Spot Treat: If irritation is concentrated, apply a hydrating product only to the affected area.

When to Stop Use:

• Severe redness, persistent stinging, or swelling may indicate an allergic reaction. Discontinue and consult a dermatologist.

When to Resume:

• Once irritation subsides (typically 3–5 days), resume with less frequent application and gradually increase as tolerance builds.

Normal Side Effects:

• Redness, peeling, and mild dryness during the adjustment phase.
• Slight stinging or tingling immediately after application.

Why Side Effects are Necessary:

• Side effects occur due to increased cell turnover and exfoliation of old, damaged skin.
• This process promotes collagen synthesis, fades pigmentation, and unclogs pores.
