Here are some frequently asked questions about AHAGLOW S SPRAY:

What is AHAGLOW S SPRAY used for?

AHAGLOW S SPRAY is formulated for acne-prone skin and helps in controlling acne breakouts. It is used for acne treatment, skin exfoliation, unclogging pores, improving skin texture, and reducing blackheads and whiteheads. It can also help control sebum production, lighten acne scars, and even out skin tone.

How does AHAGLOW S SPRAY work?

AHAGLOW S SPRAY contains a combination of Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, and Aloe Vera. Salicylic Acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), exfoliates the skin, penetrates pores to dissolve dead skin cells and excess sebum, and helps unclog pores. Glycolic Acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), acts as a gentle exfoliator, removing dead skin cells and improving skin texture. Aloe Vera is included for its soothing and moisturizing properties, helping to calm irritated skin and reduce redness and inflammation. This synergistic action helps to control oil production, prevent new acne lesions, and promote a healthier complexion.

What is the usual dosage and how should I use it?

AHAGLOW S SPRAY is easy to use; simply spritz it onto clean skin and let it dry. For best results, it is generally recommended to use it twice daily. Ensure your face is clean before application. Allow the product to absorb completely before applying other skincare products. If using a similar product like the foaming face wash, apply a small amount onto a wet face, gently massage for 20 to 30 seconds avoiding the eyes, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

What are the possible side effects of AHAGLOW S SPRAY?

While often well-tolerated, some possible side effects may include redness, burning, stinging sensations, mild irritation, dryness, or peeling of the skin. Rarely, generalized dermatitis or allergic reactions can occur in sensitive individuals. Salicylic acid can also increase skin's sensitivity to the sun, leading to a possibility of sunburn.

Is AHAGLOW S SPRAY safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

AHAGLOW S SPRAY contains Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid (AHAs). Salicylic acid should be used with caution or following professional medical advice during pregnancy and lactation, as its safety has not been fully established. Oral aloe is not recommended during pregnancy due to theoretical stimulation of uterine contractions, and in breastfeeding mothers, it may sometimes cause gastrointestinal distress in the nursing infant. It is strongly recommended to consult your doctor or dermatologist before using AHAGLOW S SPRAY if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can AHAGLOW S SPRAY be taken with other medications?

Application of aloe to the skin may increase the absorption of steroid creams, such as hydrocortisone. Aloe vera may also interact with digoxin and digitoxin, reducing their effectiveness and potentially increasing adverse effects, and combined use with furosemide may increase the risk of potassium depletion. It might also interact with oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin by decreasing blood sugar levels. While there are generally no known significant drug-drug or drug-food interactions specifically for the face wash version, individuals with skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis should use it with caution and consult a dermatologist.

What precautions should be taken while using AHAGLOW S SPRAY?

AHAGLOW S SPRAY is for external use only. Avoid contact with the mouth, eyes, and other mucous membranes to prevent irritation. Excessive or prolonged use of products containing salicylic acid may lead to symptoms of salicylism. Due to increased skin sensitivity to the sun caused by AHAs and salicylic acid, it is crucial to use sunscreen daily while using this product. Do not apply the spray on broken, irritated, or inflamed skin. If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test before full use. Do not exceed the recommended frequency of use, as overwashing can lead to dryness or irritation. Consult a dermatologist if irritation occurs or persists.

What happens if a dose is missed?

If you miss a dose of AHAGLOW S SPRAY, simply continue with your next scheduled application. Consistency is key for optimal results, so try to incorporate it regularly into your skincare routine.

How should AHAGLOW S SPRAY be stored?

AHAGLOW S SPRAY should be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally below 30°C. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use and keep it out of reach of children.
