AHA Preparation Lotion - Juliette Armand

This lotion combines 3% lactic acid and 2% glycolic acid to gently loosen and remove dead skin cells that dull the surface.
The low pH (3.5) rebalances your skin’s natural acidity, optimizing how your serums and creams penetrate and perform.
Meanwhile, a botanical blend of peony extract, witch hazel, bisabolol, and allantoin soothes and hydrates, ensuring comfort with every use.

After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad with the lotion.

Sweep over face and neck — no rinsing needed.

Use once daily (AM or PM); increase to twice daily if tolerated.

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

💡 Pro Tip: Start with 2–3 times a week if you’re new to acids, and gradually build up to daily use.

Always use SPF 30+ daily when using exfoliating acids.

Alternate with Retinoid C Cream or stronger exfoliants on different nights to prevent sensitivity.

For extra glow, layer Vitamin C Serum in the morning after AHA Lotion.

Avoid using with other AHA/BHA exfoliants or chemical peels in the same routine.

Store in a cool, dark place to maintain stability and potency.

Within 1–2 weeks: Skin feels smoother, cleaner, and more radiant.

After 4–6 weeks: Pores appear refined, uneven tone fades, and your complexion looks noticeably clearer and brighter.

Ongoing: Skin stays balanced and prepped to absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively.

Will it irritate sensitive skin?
It’s formulated to be gentle and alcohol-free, but if your skin is very reactive, start slowly (1–2 times a week) and increase as tolerance builds.

2. Should I use it in the morning or evening?
Either works! AM use preps skin for makeup and brightening serums; PM helps with overnight renewal. Always follow AM use with SPF.

3. When will I see results?
Expect smoother texture and a visible glow within 1–2 weeks, with deeper clarity and refinement after 4–6 weeks of consistent use.

4. Can I use it with retinoids or peels?
Not on the same night — alternate days to avoid over-exfoliation or irritation.

5. Can I use this during pregnancy?
Avoid AHA-based formulas during pregnancy; opt for a gentle pH-balancing toner instead.

6. Will it dry out my skin?
No. It’s infused with hydrating and soothing extracts like glycerin, bisabolol, and allantoin to prevent dryness or tightness.

7. Can it help with congestion or breakouts?
Yes — by removing dead cells and refining pores, it helps minimize congestion and smooth uneven texture.
