Apply to clean, 28 00:01:49.741 --> 00:01:54.150 dry skin using your fingertips or a cotton pad and leave it for 5 29 00:01:54.151 --> 00:01:58.320 minutes. Then, simply wash or wipe it off using a damp cloth. Now, 30 00:01:58.321 --> 00:02:02.520 we also recommend you apply your No7 Night Cream to help support your skin's 31 00:02:02.521 --> 00:02:07.140 natural barrier and every day always wear your SPF when using the 32 00:02:07.141 --> 00:02:10.230 Glycolic product to protect your skin throughout the day. 33 00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:17.400 The No7 Laboratories RESURFACING PEEL is suitable for dry, 34 00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:21.210 oily and combination skin, but it shouldn't be used on broken, 35 00:02:22.170 --> 00:02:25.680 irritated or very sensitive skin as it may cause some irritation. 36 00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:33.420 The No7 Laboratories RESURFACING PEEL is designed to be used a few times a week 37 00:02:33.421 --> 00:02:38.190 at most, so it's more of a treatment than a daily use product like cleansers and 38 00:02:38.191 --> 00:02:39.210 moisturisers. 39 00:02:42.510 --> 00:02:46.680 You shouldn't use other AHA/BHA (acid) peel products, 40 00:02:46.770 --> 00:02:47.970 harsh exfoliators, 41 00:02:48.030 --> 00:02:52.920 or pure retinol containing products at the same time as the Glycolic Acid peel. 42 00:02:53.250 --> 00:02:57.060 And that's because they all work to support surface skin cell turnover, 43 00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:01.950 so if used together they may be too much for your skin to handle and maybe more 44 00:03:01.951 --> 00:03:03.750 likely to cause some sensitivity.
