Juliette Armand AHA Preparation Lotion – 210 ml
Prep · Exfoliate · Brighten
A professional daily AHA lotion (5% total AHA blend: 3% lactic acid + 2% glycolic acid) with a low pH of 3.5.

Preps for actives: Restores optimal pH for better penetration of serums and treatments
-

How to Use
-
After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad with the lotion.
-
Sweep over face and neck—no rinsing needed.

-
Proceed with serum, moisturizer, and SPF 30+ in the morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will it irritate sensitive skin?
A: Designed to be mild—no alcohol or harsh surfactants. Still, patch test first and begin 1–2 times weekly if you have very sensitive skin.
Q: When should I use this—AM or PM?
A: Either! Many prefer AM to prep skin before actives; PM reduces sun sensitivity—but always follow with SPF in daytime routines.
Q: How soon will I see results?
A: You may notice smoother texture and a gentle glow within 1–2 weeks. For deeper tone and clarity benefits, consistent use over 4–6 weeks is key.
Q: Can I layer it with retinoids or peels?
A: Best not on the same evening—opt to alternate with retinoids or stronger peels to prevent sensitivity. In the morning, always follow with hydrating serums and SPF.
Q: Can I use it while pregnant?
A: Avoid AHA acids during pregnancy. Consider swapping to pH-balancing toners without acids until after.
