Frequently asked questions
Can I use PHA and Snail Mucin together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between PHA and Snail Mucin, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (hydration), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, PHA or Snail Mucin?
Apply PHA first, then Snail Mucin. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use PHA in the morning or at night?
PHA: works morning or night. You can use it daily. It is a good first acid, or a way to keep exfoliating on retinoid "rest" nights if your skin tolerates it.
Should I use Snail Mucin in the morning or at night?
Snail Mucin: works morning or night. Pat in after toner, morning and night.
