Product Usage
What order should I apply by RFA Skincare products?
While it can depend on several factors, a good rule of thumb is to apply your products from thinnest to thickest!
For specific questions, email skin@rfaskincare. Be sure to include a list of all products you are currently using in your routine.
How do I incorporate new products into my routine?
It’s safest to add products into your routine one at a time. This approach allows your skin time to adjust and limits confusion about what product might be causing a particular skin response. We recommending waiting 1-2 weeks before adding new products into your new routine. For specific questions, email skin@rfaskincare.com.
I started using a new product and my skin is breaking out. Is that normal?
Don't worry - this is totally normal! A temporary flare-up of acne, known as purging, is very common afterstarting a product that increases cell turnover such as retinoids or exfoliating acids like Koji Clear pads and Lux Pads. The good news? This temporary flare-up usually lasts just 6-8 weeks, and it's your skin's way of revealing its true potential. Stay patient – clearer, glowing skin is on the horizon! Your skin isn't acting up; it's actually leveling up!

My skin tingles after applying my products. Is that normal?
It is very common to experience a slight tingle after applying medical grade skincare products. However, if it feels more like stinging or burning, you are likely experiencing a compromised skin barrier. This can be caused by factors such as over-exfoliation or change in climate. In order to restore your skin barrier, stop all of your skin actives (such as exfoliants, acids, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, etc.) and apply soothing and hydrating ingredients such as RFA Rescue Cream or one of our RFA moisturizers. Once your skin has normalized and you’re no longer experiencing any burning or stinging, slowly reintroduce your other products back into your routine.
