Vitamin A & Exfoliant Serums: AHA & BHAs Your Skin Will Love
Let’s talk skin power players.
If you’re serious about improving skin texture, tone and long-term glow, there are two ingredients that absolutely need to be in your routine: Vitamin A and chemical exfoliants and not just any - I’m talking about The Skincare Company’s clinical-grade Vitamin A Serum and Exfoliant Serum. They’re cult favourites for a reason.
First up - what does Vitamin A actually do?
Think of it as your skin’s personal trainer.
Vitamin A (also known as retinol or retinyl palmitate in The Skincare Company formula) helps boost cell turnover, fade pigmentation, reduce breakouts, soften fine lines and improve overall skin tone. It’s like hitting refresh for your face and the results build over time.
What I love about TSCs version is that it’s medical-grade, but not overly harsh. You still get the results, without the dreaded flaking or irritation some retinol users experience. Perfect for sensitive skin types or anyone easing into active skincare.
Now let’s add in the Exfoliant Serum.
This one works a little differently - it’s an AHA/BHA combo, designed to gently resurface your skin and clear out dead cells and congestion. It’s especially great for:
Breakouts or blackheads
Pigmentation or uneven tone
Rough, textured skin
Prepping skin before needling or treatments
This serum gives your skin that glass-skin glow and helps your other products (like Vitamin A!) absorb better. It is like having a at home mini chemical peel!
How do I use them together?
Alternate them on different nights (especially if you’re new to actives)
Or use Vitamin A 2–3x per week, and Exfoliant Serum 1-2x (as tolerated)
Always apply at night, and follow with a moisturiser
And yes - SPF every single morning is non-negotiable! please!
Final thoughts?
