Skin Sensitivities & Patch Tests

  3. If redness, burning, itching, hives, swelling, or other irritation occurs, discontinue use and consider consulting a clinician.
• If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, or if you have a known skin condition (e.g., eczema, rosacea, psoriasis), ask your healthcare provider before using products—especially those with retinoids, salicylic acid/other BHAs, AHAs, benzoyl peroxide, hydroquinone, essential oils, or high-strength actives.
