It’s also good to let your esthetician know if you’re getting a facial with a certain event in mind—if you’re attending a wedding in two days, you won’t want to get extractions or a crazy strong peel since these can both result in light flaking for a few days. The biggest culprit is usually extractions.

If you’re suffering from breakouts and/or pore congestion such as blackheads, whiteheads and milia, our Product Support Team recommends requesting that the esthetician perform extractions to unclog the pores. This reaction shows that the skin is purging itself of pore-clogging debris and is a normal part of the detox process.

It's no wonder that using these types of exfoliating ingredients with conventional retinol is a no-no. This can lead to dryness, irritation and even peeling.

I use it with 99% of treatments, before a peel, after extractions or exfoliation, and even after or during a mask (if not opaque). So for the next couple weeks, we just did Celluma LED Light Therapy 2 – 3 times a week to assist with the transition of home care and purging.
