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 penetration.  

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.

Love all of these products! My skin was bumpy, irritated and the tone was blotchy and uneven with acne scars. After just a couple weeks - I am still in the acclimation period so it is quite flakey - but the tone and texture are completely transforming before my eyes! More even skin tone, smooth & glassy texture are peaking through!! I am blown away. Can’t wait to see the results as I continue to use. I highly recommend - in fact my friend just placed her first order after seeing my results ;)

Dear Stacie,

Efol-A FTW

Alright, everyone listen up, this product is a game changer. I have been using Derm-A-Renew for about 9 months & was obviously obsessed. It was an amazing Retinol & it didn't dry out my skin (kind of unheard of). So, I decided why not try out Efol-A since my skin is prepped for it? Well, let me just say I am blow away with these results. In just ONE week my skin was brighter, firmer, smother & PORELESS. I swear my pore has shrunk CONSIDERABLY. I did not know I could like a product more than Derm-A-Renew (bc I was obsessed), but alas I do. I swear I am Benjamin Buttoning. I will be sticking to Efol-A for the unseeable future. However, there are no peptides in this retinol, so I'm thinking of just taking the plunge & incorporating Rejuv-Rx into my routine.

Dear Alexandra,
