AHA instructions

Hi! I'm thinking of starting to use the AHA toner, but I'm kind of new to it and don't want to make any "begginers' mistakes"..
where should I apply it? on problem areas or all-over?
does it have an experation date?

thanks ahead

It would be a good idea to test a little spot if you can, just to see what it will do.

I recommend using every third day or twice a week for starters. I usually suggest the evening, just in case the skin decides to react....plus it does make the skin a little more sun sensitive. I put it on a cotton pad and put it all over my face after cleansing and before treating/moisturizing. Some use it with a spray nozzle. You want to leave it on the skin for about 15 to 20 minutes if you can before adding the next step. Also, if it starts to sting, rinse it off. Use sunscreen or some kind of sunblock during the day when you go out!

Thanks alot!
But oddly enough, my usually super sensitive skin - didn't react in any way to the AHA toner, which is weird since I understand it's supposed to cause redness and/or minor breakouts.. is it not working on me? or should I try applying more of it?

It should not sting. It really should not cause redness or breakouts to do its job.

Use it every third day for a while.....at least a month. Then consider trying every other day.
