FAQs

Q1. How does the glycolic acid in Sebium Night Peel work for acne-prone skin specifically?
A1. Glycolic Acid (an AHA) exfoliates by breaking the bonds between dead skin cells at the surface, promoting faster cell turnover. For acne-prone skin, this has two specific benefits: it prevents the surface build-up of dead cells that trap sebum and cause comedones, and it gradually resurfaces the textural irregularities and PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) that acne leaves behind. The Panthenol in this formula is included specifically to offset the dryness that glycolic acid can cause, making it tolerable for consistent overnight use.

Q2. Is it a rinse-off or leave-on formula?
A2. Leave-on — apply a small amount to clean, dry skin in the evening and do not rinse off. The overnight contact time is what allows glycolic acid to complete its exfoliating effect. Apply only to the face (avoid the eye and lip areas) and allow to absorb before applying any additional evening products.

Q3. How often can it be used?
A3. Start 2–3 times weekly and assess tolerance before moving to every other night or nightly use. Glycolic acid is well-tolerated by most combination-to-oily skin types at regular frequency, but sensitive or dry skin types may prefer weekly use. If redness, flaking, or stinging persists, reduce frequency and allow the barrier to recover before increasing again.

Q4. Will it cause sun sensitivity — and do I need SPF the next day?
A4. Yes — AHA use increases photosensitivity. Daily SPF 50+ the morning after use is essential, not optional. This is particularly important in India where UV intensity is high year-round. Skipping SPF while using a glycolic product will cause more harm than the peel can repair.

Q5. Can it be used alongside prescription acne medications?
A5. Use with caution alongside prescription retinoids or other acids — combining multiple exfoliating actives significantly increases irritation risk. If on tretinoin or adapalene, use Sebium Night Peel on alternate nights rather than simultaneously, and watch for signs of over-exfoliation (persistent redness, stinging, flaking). Consult your dermatologist before combining prescription treatments with this product.
