If I were to have this product and the blackhead clearing fizz mask in my routine, would I want to use them alternating days, or have a day break between the two?
Hi there, Megan! Please alternate between the Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel and the Blackhead Clearing Fizz Masque! Thank you. Kind Regards, Beatriz
If no tingling is felt after leaving it on the recommended time, does it need to be left on longer? Or was not enough product applied?
Good Morning Daysia, The product is still working even if you don't feel any tingling. I would rinse it off after 7-10 minutes. The product will continue to clear the skin, retexturize and brighten it whether you feel any sensitivities or not. Please reach out if you have more questions. Kind Regards, Melissa
Safe to use whilst breastfeeding?
