What is Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream?

Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream is a medical-grade chemical exfoliant formulated with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHA) to help improve skin texture, tone, and clarity. Designed to support gentle yet effective cell turnover, this formula helps reduce dullness, uneven texture, and congestion without the physical abrasion of scrub-type products.

At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, we choose professional exfoliants for their consistency, safety, and clinical performance.

How do AHA and BHA work?

• AHA (Alpha-Hydroxy Acids), such as glycolic and lactic acid, work on the surface of the skin to promote exfoliation, improve texture, and support brightness.
• BHA (Beta-Hydroxy Acid), such as salicylic acid, penetrates into pores to help clear congestion and reduce buildup that can contribute to breakouts and uneven tone.

Together, they provide multi-level exfoliation for smoother, more refined skin.

How is Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream different from retail scrubs or cleansers?

Retail scrubs and physical exfoliants often rely on abrasive particles that can create micro-tears or irritation without real clinical benefit. Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream is different because it:

• Uses chemical exfoliation instead of physical abrasion
• Is formulated at medical-grade concentrations
• Supports consistent, controlled exfoliation
• Can be integrated safely into treatment plans

This results in more predictable and effective outcomes.

Who can benefit from using Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream?

This exfoliant can benefit individuals who:

• Have rough or dull texture
• Experience uneven tone or congestion
• Want smoother, brighter skin
• Are building a medical-grade skincare routine

A consultation helps ensure the product fits your skin type and goals.

How do I use Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream?

To use safely and effectively:

1. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once daily or every other night
2. Avoid eye area
3. Follow with a medical-grade moisturizer
4. Use broad-spectrum SPF during the day

Your provider will recommend the appropriate frequency based on your skin’s tolerance and overall plan.

What results can I expect?

Regular use of Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream can help:

• Improve smoothness and refinement
• Reduce dullness
• Support clearer, more even tone
• Enhance product absorption

Results are gradual and improved over time with consistent use.

Is there downtime or irritation?

Mild tingling or redness can occur, especially when first introduced or if skin is sensitive. This is common with active exfoliants and typically temporary. Sparkle’s approach emphasizes:

• Proper introduction
• Hydration support
• Adjustment of frequency as needed

This helps minimize discomfort and supports consistent results.

Can Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream be used with other treatments?

Yes. This exfoliant can be part of a comprehensive plan that may include:

• Laser or IPL treatments
• RF skin tightening
• Retinoids (such as retinal or retinol products)
• Chemical peels administered in clinic
• Medical-grade serums

Your provider will advise on sequencing to protect your skin and maximize results.

Are there any side effects or risks?

Common responses can include:

• Mild tingling or warmth
• Temporary redness or dryness
• Increased sun sensitivity

Because exfoliants can make skin more sensitive to UV exposure, daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential.

More significant irritation should be discussed with your provider for appropriate adjustments.

Who should avoid this product?

This exfoliant may not be appropriate for individuals who:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding (discuss with a provider)
• Have active inflammatory skin conditions without professional guidance
• Are using certain prescription medications that increase sensitivity

A consultation ensures safe and appropriate incorporation into your routine.

How is Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream different from a professional peel?

In-office chemical peels use higher concentrations and more controlled application to achieve deeper exfoliation. Vivier AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cream is a daily or nightly at-home exfoliant designed to support ongoing improvement. Many clients use both as part of a comprehensive plan—peels in clinic and exfoliant at home under guidance.
