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.

First retinoid exp with no expectation - I am blown away

I am a 29 year old mother who hadn’t felt the need to start an expensive (for me) skincare regimen until a few months ago.. when all of a sudden I started seeing new lines/wrinkles forming in my forehead, nose bridge (I love my smile but unfortunately I scrunch my nose up when I smile or laugh), and the nasolabial area. Not only that, I just looked tired and dull. All of this change seemed to appear overnight for some reason.

I was recommended Exfol A by a friend as my first retinol product (and additionally the mandelic 8%) and I went into this with zero expectations. If anything, I was expecting to be purging - I was ready for the worst. flakes and blemishes and etc.

I started using it every other day for two weeks with the plan to start using every night as recommended by the leaflet I received with the products.

Somehow by the time I was approaching the end of those first two weeks, my skin was.. glowing. Almost just like it used to 5+ years ago in my early 20s when I was just blessed with great, youthful skin. At that point I couldn’t decide if that was placebo or the actual effect.

Now I’ve been using it every night (Exfol A on bare skin, just after cleansing with gentle cleanser then hydrating night cream over it) for a couple months and I am simply blown away to see these lines I was clearly seeing on my nose bridge go from clearly visible even with makeup to nearly invisible - certainly not noticeable by anyone other than myself. And the fine lines on my forehead and smile lines improved as well.

I’m over the moon. I feel lucky to have found Exfol A to address these new lines that I didn’t love almost immediately as they were forming. It has alleviated my feelings of anxiety about the state of my skin feeling out of control as I age. As someone who still hasn’t made her mind up about injectables like botox or fillers, I feel very contented and grateful.

Liquid gold!!

This product is absolutely amazing! I was never able to find a retinol that my skin could tolerate and then my dermatologist recommended this. It has been the best thing to happen to my skin. I barely breakout anymore and my skin has become so even and clear!! I’ve been using it for about 5 months now and have noticed huge changes. I can’t wait to see the continued improvements to come!

Love

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,

We love to hear that you are skin is transforming and that you are witnessing this!!!
Thank you for leaving a review, loving our products and thank you to your friend as well ;)
