    Considerations

    Normal or Combination Skin: Start using Exfol-A™ Forté every other night for the first week to ten days, then gradually increase to twice daily. 

    Sensitive Skin, Arid or Dry Winter Climate Conditions: Begin with one application of Exfol-A™ Forté every third night through the second week. Increase to every other night for a further week, and nightly thereafter. Eventually, you may be able to use the program up to twice daily. 

    Oily Skin or Hot Tropical Climate Conditions: Because your natural oil flow creates a film that slows the effects of the Vitamin A, the program can be stepped up more quickly. You may be able to start immediately using the serum once a day. As skin acclimates, begin applying Exfol-A™ Forté twice daily.

  • Key Ingredients

    • Retinyl Propionate (Vitamin A): Developed and patented by Dr. James E. Fulton, the most effective non-prescription retinoid available. Helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while protecting from further photo-aging and free radical damage.

    • Glycolic Acid: An amino acid naturally derived from sugar cane. Exfoliates skin and encourages cell renewal. Also helps lighten skin discoloration.

    • Salicylic Acid: Multi-functioning Beta Hydroxy Acid with exfoliating, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory properties. A key element in the treatment of acne, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris and other skin ailments.

    • Citric Acid: This anti-oxidant Alpha Hydroxy acid regulates pH, encourages collagen production, softens skin and aids in moisture retention.

    • Kojic acid: Brightens and protects against sun damage.

    • Lactic Acid: Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from fermented milk. Gentler than other AHAs. Exfoliates dead skin, encourages cell renewal, aids in regulating pH and acts as moisture binder.

    • Urea: Promotes rehydration in skin.

    • Niacinamide: A water-soluble form of Vitamin B with firming effect and anti-inflammatory properties.
