Cleanse is the very first step in your skincare routine. It clears your skin of any dirt, pollution or dead cells that might have gathered during the day or night and helps prevent blemishes and impurities. That way, your skin can stay its healthy, most radiant self. Let's get those pores squeaky clean!
No, if you wear make-up, you must first remove the make-up, ideally with a cleansing milk. Then use the Fruit Acid Wash Foam.
No, we love our furry friends so none of our products are tested on animals.
Fruit acids belong to the alpha hydroxy acids, which are also called AHA. There’re a lot of different fruit acids. For examples glycolic acid, citric acid, lactic acid and tartaric acid. Our favorite fruit acids are of course the glycolic acid and the lactic acid. Already Cleopatra knew about the effects of them. That’s the reason why she always took a bath in fermented donkey milk to get softer and more beautiful glowing skin. This is the reason why we included both into our Fruit Acid Wash Foam.
There are different forms of fruit acids. One of them (our personal favorite) is glycolic acid. It originally comes from nature. So glycolic acid comes from grapes or from sugar cane. Lactic acid originally comes from milk, and lactic acid is abbreviated in English as LHA . Yes, it is also suitable for vegans. Because the lactic acid is no longer obtained from the milk, but with the knowledge from nature provided as a molecule.
Yes, it is vegan. But all products are, because the lactic acid is a molecule and does not come from a dairy product. We just use what we know from nature. And it's lactose-free because lactose is the milk sugar and has no place in cosmetic products.
Yes, sure. It supports the skin in the fight against acne and pimples. Because it removes the dead cells on the skin surface…everything in the depth might come out…..but just in the beginning….it is perfect in combination with your dermatology acne treatment. Because it removes the dead skin cells on the surface, in the beginning all the “garbage” can come to the outside. But then you will get a more cleaner and smoother fine pored skin.
Absolutely! It helps to get the dead cells away from the surface of our skin. However, it is possible that everything under the skin can come to the surface within the first 2 weeks, but it cleans it perfectly.
Sure…of course! It even helps to prevent or eliminate ingrown hair, as it removes the dead skin cells on the skin surface. This leads to ingrown hair. You can use it while taking a shower or while brushing your teeth.
Yes, the Fruit Acid Wash Foam removes the dead skin cells on the skin surface. This leads to ingrown hair.
Every day in the morning and in the evening, ideally while brushing your teeth. And never in the morning without sun protection.
Now you know why Cleopatra took a bath in fermented donkey milk...because of the lactic acid LHA (lactic acid)...which gently removes the dead cells on the surface of the skin.
Yes, but maybe not frequently in the beginning. Also don’t leave it on, just rinse it off in the beginning. Start to use the foam maybe every third day than you get trained..than every second day than every day and than twice a day. Yes, it might tingle, but this will go as soon as you are “trained”. But talk to your Dermatologist first.
Please only in consultation with your dermatologist.
It helps to get rid of dead skin cells and helps you to get a smoother skin.
Yes but than get “trained”. What I mean? It might tingle a bit or you get red in the beginning, this means your skin need to be trained. Use it than maybe every 2nd day than every day and than 2 per day. In the beginning rinse it off immediately. Just if you feel comfortable you can start leaving it on while brushing your teeth. You will see, your skin becomes thicker, stable, fine pored and smoother very soon. But use UV protection every day too (UV Day Shield).
Fruit acids belong to the group of alpha hydroxy acids, also known as AHA for short. In English, fruit acids are therefore called alpha hydroxy acid. Fruit acids include a large group of different fruit acids. These include glycolic acid, citric acid, lactic acid and tartaric acid.
No, because the skin keeps producing new cells from bottom to top, until we die. If the dead cells are taken away, this happens even faster. We call this «sport» or « exercise» for your skin.
Yes, because the dead cells are taken away and you feel this as dryness at the beginning. But it is the dead cells that go away. After a few days you are "trained" and you don't feel the "soreness" anymore.
Yes totally. The fruit acids can tingle at the beginning and make your face red for a short time, like the muscle soreness during sports. This goes away after several applications. If you are too unsure, then don't leave the foam on, but wash it off right away and/or use it every 3 days at the beginning, then every 2 days and then every day. Then you will be trained and you will not feel anything.
It's like in sports. First you feel the soreness, after a while of training you are trained and nothing hurts. Same with the foam. At the beginning it may tingle slightly, after that you are well trained -not used to it. So it still works, don't worry.
Yes, but don't get nervous. The dead cells are taken away at the surface and the production is boosted, so at the beginning everything comes up from the depth. But after a while, your skin becomes finer and smoother.
Regardless of the brand, certain active ingredients are not recommended in pregnancy. For instance, Ingredients such as retinoids, AHA (fruit acids) or BHA (salicylic acid) should be generally avoided throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding. In the case of Dr. Liv Skincare, we recommend skipping the Smoothing Cleanser and Overnight Smoother until after pregnancy/end of breastfeeding as they contain AHA/BHA. The Biome Barrier and the Day Shield are safe to use in pregnancy. The use of an SPF is even highly recommended in pregnancy to avoid hyperpigmentation. If in doubt, we recommend consulting your doctor regarding any concerns.
