WHY COMBINED THIS WAY
MALE SKIN
Male skin: pores on average 30% larger than female skin, sebum production 40% higher, wider and more active hair follicles → tendency towards comedones and shine. Exfoliation must be strategic: too frequent and it compromises a barrier already stressed by shaving; too infrequent and keratin and sebum accumulate. Cyclical protocol: 10 days per month.
ACTIVE SYNERGY
Glycolic Acid 7% (the AHA with the smallest molecular weight in its family) penetrates the superficial layers and dissolves dead corneocytes, accelerating cell turnover without mechanical abrasive action. Niacinamide regulates sebaceous 5α-reductase activity — visibly reduces pore size by 22% in 8 weeks and attenuates post-acne hyperpigmentation. Hyaluronic Acid replenishes the hydration lost through exfoliation. Pro-Vitamin B5 rebuilds the barrier on active treatment days.
ROLE IN ROUTINE
Cyclical PM step — replaces HYDRATE for 10 consecutive days per month. During the remaining 20 days, return to HYDRATE for barrier recovery. Never use AM (exfoliated skin is more photosensitive).
