Skin sensitivity test - 1. Cleanse w/ Ultra Gentle Cleanser & tone w/ Calming Toner
2. Apply 8% Mandelic for inflamed, combo, and moderate/severe noninflamed. Test Vit. A Corrective
serum for mild noninflamed.
3. If the client feels a 2 or less, proceed to Step 6 below. If they feel more than a 2, you will then test the
5% Mandelic Serum for inflamed or combination acne on the opposite lower cheek. If you get a number
higher than 3, cleanse the serum off with water.
4. If you are proceeding to the other cheek to test Mandelic 5%, ask if the client feels any tingling and if
so, what degree of tingling they feel. If they feel a 2 or less, then that is the serum they will use.
5. If the client feels more than a 2 with both of the serums tested, see step 7.
6. Once you find a serum that the clients feels at a 2 or less, put the serum all over their face and ask if
they still feel the same degree of tingling just to be sure that the client can tolerate it.
7. If a client cannot tolerate any serum (feels over a 2 on a 1-10 scale of tingling, stinging, and/or
burning), don't give them one. Have them follow the home care instructions for Week 1 & 2, minus the
serum. Most of the time, the benzoyl peroxide (Acne Med) will make their skin less sensitive over time
and you can test their skin again in 2 weeks. Many times in our clinic, we send the client home from their
first consultation without a serum and retest them in 2 weeks.
