FAQ

How do I use this?

Apply to clean, dry skin – on the face and neck at night only. For more sensitive skin, start with 2–3 nights a week and build to nightly use as tolerated.

What step is this in my routine?

After (double) cleansing and before your moisturizer.

How often do I use it?

We recommend using this daily at night. For more sensitive skin, start with 2-3 times a week and build up to nightly use.

Should I use this both day/night?

Night only. This was designed to work hard while you sleep.

Can I use the mandelic serum with retinol/Tretinoin?

We recommend talking to your medical provider to determine what’s best for your routine as skin tolerance varies from person to person.

Is this safe to use with prescription acne medication?

We recommend talking to your medical provider to determine what’s best for your routine as skin tolerance varies from person to person.

Does this help with hyperpigmentation/dark spots?

Go Deep is clinically proven to reduce PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and PIE (post-inflammatory erythema)* 87.1% agreed their post-acne marks faded significantly while using this product*

*Based on a 31-subject clinical study after 4 weeks of use

Is this good for rosacea/eczema?

96.3% agreed the serum felt gentle, even on their sensitive skin*

89.3% agreed the serum delivered visible results**

* Based on a 31-subject clinical study after 4 weeks of use

** Based on a 31-subject clinical study after 6 weeks of use

*** Based on a 31-subject clinical study after 8 weeks of use

What is the percentage of the key ingredients?

We formulated Go Deep with a highly effective 8% Mandelic Acid (so it really, really works). 

What is the source of the mandelic acid?

It is synthetically derived and of pharmaceutical grade.

Those with a nut allergy, or allergy specific to bitter almond, please patch test prior to use.

Is it normal to purge with this product?

Purging may occur with any products containing exfoliating ingredients like Mandelic Acid. When introducing these types of ingredients, it’s possible to experience mild “purging” in the first couple of weeks – small breakouts that surface more quickly than usual as skin cell turnover increases.

If this happens, it should be temporary and subside as your skin adjusts. That said, persistent irritation, stinging, or worsening breakouts aren’t expected and should be flagged to us right away.

    My favorite part of my nighttime routine

    This is hands down my favorite part of winding down for the night! It brings a certain level of cooling and soothing after the pore cleanser and has just the right amount of tackiness before adding the moisturizer!

    So good

    I really like this product! It makes my skin feel hydrated and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all. It makes my skin so glowy and has definitely helped with acne marks.

    MUST HAVE

    This is probably the best product in this line and if you can only get one get this! I put it on at night and the difference of my breakouts by morning is insane they have visibly improved so much. Also I had the worst closed comedones for weeks and absolutely nothing helped them, I got this and put it on and they opened up by morning. Just make sure you start of 2-3 times a week or you can damage your barrier.

    SOOO GOOD!!

    Replaced my prescription azelaic acid with Go Calm and I found it does better for keeping redness down and make my skin look clear day in and out. Use her every morning and night!
