Q: How often should I use it?

submitted by Jessica - 1 year ago
  • A: Hello, thank you for reaching out! For the best results, we recommend using this product at night twice a week in place of your toner (depending on skin sensitivity). If you have any more questions, feel free to ask - we're here to help!

Q: What percent lactic acid is this product?

submitted by IowaKoalas - 11 months ago
  • A: Hello! Our AHA Seaweed Gel contains approximately 10% lactic acid. This powerhouse ingredient exfoliates and resurfaces the skin to reveal a visibly brighter and rejuvenated complexion in minutes! If used during the day, make sure you apply an SPF at the end of your routine, as lactic acid can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask - we're here to help!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the feeling of this product a lot and wanted so badly to fall in love with it. I guess the only complaint I have is that I didn’t notice as much of a difference as I had hoped. I would say, my skin texture improved slightly.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a resurfacing lactic acid this stuff works! You feel it working and it will have your skin tingling. If you have any issues with your skin barrier I would recommend you use sparingly and of course use spf in the day. I took a star off because I’m not a fan of a night time routine product that I have to apply after washing my face and then have to rewash my face again after 5 minutes.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this product allows you to use something at home that has the effect of getting a peel done. It saves so much money to do it yourself. You need to start gently with this product and then increase the time you leave it on, follow the directions carefully. After using it a few times in my nightly routine I am really happy with the results. For me, it did not burn. I felt like my skin was being refreshed and exfoliated well.

    Thank you! We're glad you are enjoying it! Remember our AHA Seaweed Gel is a deep exfoliator and we recommend using it only twice a week to avoid irritation on your skin, for a daily cleansing you can choose our Orange Blossom Cleanser and Coconut Water Toner!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am big on exfoliators and my preference tends to be more toward chemical exfoliators rather than physical so I was very excited to receive and review this product from Influenster and Apto skincare. I already have one AHA serum at home but this one is different. I really loved the gel like consistency of this product and the lactic acid was a bonus as well! This serum made my skin feel softer and appeared to visibly reduce the look of my pores, dead skin cells, etc. while still being gentle enough not to make my skin feel tight and stripped like some of these types of products can do. I actually felt like this added some hydration to my skin after using it. I think that is probably in part due to the seaweed. I really loved it! I will continue to use this product and most likely repurchase in the future.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is a thicker gel that is easy to apply to the face. I dislike the scent. The packaging is cute and in one of my favorite colors. I didn’t notice any difference in my face before using this or after using it but will continue to test it out. I like seaweed products and lactic acid works well for my skin.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're so happy to hear you found this product easy to use! The slight scent you're picking up is likely from the natural ingredients, as this product is formulated without any added fragrances, but we totally understand if it's not your favorite. One quick note on the timeline - most skin care products take about a month to bring out those visible, lasting changes due to the cycle of skin cell turnover. We may always be moving fast through our daily hustle, but our skin likes to take its sweet time! We take all feedback to heart, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
