What kind of acids are in Dewtopia? Why is 20% important?
Dewtopia contains 10% AHAs and 10% PHAs to help exfoliate and smooth skin texture. AHAs (alphahydroxy acids) like glycolic and lactic acids chemically exfoliate to help loosen and lift dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) have a larger molecular structure and therefore do not penetrate the skin as deeply as other acids, allowing you to gently loosen and lift impurities from the skin’s surface.

Can this be combined with retinol? Does this replace retinol?
We recommend spacing out the use of skincare with direct acids and skincare containing retinol/retinoids (vitamin A). To avoid dryness or irritation, we recommend using Dewtopia on nights that you are not using retinol. If you are just starting to use skincare actives (like acids or retinol) give your skin a break of 2-3 days before introducing a different type of active ingredient.

Should I use a moisturizer after this?
Yes, you should apply moisturizer after this serum as the final step in your evening skincare routine.

Can I use this in combination with a night cream or Glow2OH?
We recommend patch testing products with active ingredients like AHAs on a small area to test for sensitivity to acids. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
