What To Expect

What You’ll See

Continued rejuvenation for skin acclimated to Derm-A-Gel® and further refinement in skin tone and texture for resistant acne cases. Increased firmness and lift, peeling away of impactions, smoother texture, reduction of fine lines, more consistent tone. Benefits can be seen in less than two weeks. 

What You’ll Feel

Slight peeling or flaking and tingling sensation as skin acclimates is normal and indicates the product is working. If excessive drying, redness or peeling occurs during the first two or three weeks, skip treatment for a day or two, then restart slowly. 

What You Should Know

If skin shows no reaction, increase usage to twice daily, or move up to the next level of Vivant’s vitamin A therapy. You should experience some light peeling every week.

How To Use

Regimen Step: Three

Use following cleansing and toning steps, when skin is primed for optimum product absorption.  

Frequency: Up to twice daily - AM and/or PM. Begin usage every other day and gradually increase to daily application. (See skin type considerations below for more specifics.)

Method: Apply an even layer over the entire face (no spot treating). Allow serum to dry briefly before applying additional products or makeup to skin.

Considerations:

Normal or Combination Skin

Start using Exfol-A™ every other night for the first week to ten days, then gradually increase to twice daily. 


Sensitive Skin, Arid or Dry Winter Climate Conditions

Begin with one application of Exfol-A™ every third night through the second week. Increase to every other night for a further week, and nightly thereafter. Eventually, you may be able to use the program up to twice daily. 


Oily Skin or Hot Tropical Climate Conditions

Because your natural oil flow creates a film that slows the effects of the Vitamin A, the program can be stepped up more quickly. You may be able to start immediately using the serum once a day. As skin acclimates, begin applying Exfol-A™ twice daily. 


Pro tip: When skin has acclimated, and you’re ready to push your progress to the next level, move up to Exfol-A™ Forté.

Great step up from retinol!

I’ve been using another brand of retinol and felt like my skin could benefit from a stronger form of vitamin A. In the two weeks I’ve been using Exfol-A I have noticed my skin texture looking better and my “elevens” are not as deep. People never guess my real age. Also, no side effects which I’m guessing is due to using previous retinol cream right before I bought this. I use this at night and my 15% vitamin C serum in the morning.

Powerful Serum

I’ve used Vivant products in the past so I had no qualms about purchasing this one. I used to battle acne pretty badly but I’ve had it under control for quite some time now. Well recently I ventured out and tried a new vitamin C serum that was heavily oiled based. The results? Congesting and clogged pores galore! I knew I would need to re-incorporate a good retinol serum into my routine again so I turned to Vivant, as again, I knew their products would work. It’s only been two weeks but my very congested cheeks have just about completed the process of purging and the hyperpigmentation is healing rapidly in conjunction with using a Vitamin C + E with ferulic acid serum. My skin is almost back to normal again. I wish I could say I was surprised, what I can say is that I’m happy and feeling confident again. If you’re unsure about this brand, just know their products are top tier, THEY WORK, do not hesitate to give them a try. And schedule a consultation if you need help putting a routine together. Thank you Vivant Skincare, my trusted acne ally
