How should I introduce this serum into my routine if I’ve never used acids before?

If you're new to exfoliating acids, start slowly to see how your skin responds. Begin by applying the serum once a week, in the evening, to clean, dry skin. Use a small amount (about 2-3 drops) and gently press it onto your face, avoiding the eye area. Wait a few minutes for it to absorb before following with a simple moisturizer.

After two weeks with no redness, dryness, or stinging, you can increase to twice a week. The goal is to find a frequency—whether it's 2-3 times weekly—that provides a smoother texture without causing irritation. Since this serum combines both surface-exfoliating AHAs (from apple, lime, and kiwi fruit juices) and pore-focused BHA, it's important to monitor your skin's reaction, especially in areas that are more sensitive or prone to congestion.

Do not combine it with other strong acids, retinoids, or physical scrubs on the same night. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as exfoliation can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
