After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad and sweep over face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eyes and delicate areas. Alternatively, dispense product into palms and press directly over the skin.
Leave Liquid Gold to work on its own - layering with other products will buffer the efficacy of the treatment. Follow with a face oil once skin is touch dry if preferred.

PRO TIPS
- If you’re new to exfoliation or have sensitive skin, start slowly with once a week and build up to 3 times a week over the course of a month
- It’s normal to feel a tingling sensation on the skin after application - it’ll linger for a few minutes before dissipating, revealing a fresher, firmer complexion and natural glow
- If your skin is slightly sensitive or you prefer a more comfortable feel, apply a face oil on top instead of a moisturiser (oil-based products won't reduce the efficacy of Liquid Gold's low pH formula)
- Always apply and reapply an adequate amount of your chosen broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, but especially after using Liquid Gold at night

16 Expert-Approved Ways to Use Liquid Gold
Frequently Asked Questions
-
For best results we advise applying Liquid Gold to freshly cleansed skin three alternate evenings a week and leaving to work on the skin unadulterated overnight, to avoid reducing the products potent exfoliating capacity by following with other products.
-
Yes! Depending on many factors including skin type and how accustomed your skin is to active ingredients, some skins may feel a tingle upon application. This is normal and should subside after a few moments. It is also normal for some skins not to feel anything at all, this does not mean the product isn't working, each skin is individual.
-
If you are using an over the counter cosmetic grade Retinol you can continue to use this when you introduce Liquid Gold. As both Glycolic Acid and Retinol encourage skin turnover we recommend cycling these active ingredients with less active, non exfoliating products in your routine. One evening Liquid Gold followed by an application of Retinol (Vitamin A) the next then 1-2 evenings off where you apply a non active moisturiser or face oil works perfectly. Please note: if you are using a doctor prescribed prescription Retinoid however, we do not recommend teaming this with other exfoliants including Liquid Gold.
-
Liquid Gold may be cycled into your routine in conjunction with other exfoliating acids. Frequency of use and the types of additional exfoliants will depend on individual skin type and tolerance. If you are unsure what the best regime for you is, please reach out to us at hello@alpha-h.com and one of our team will be happy to assist you.
-
If you are new to chemical exfoliants or your skin is a little on the sensitive side we would suggest starting slowly with Liquid Gold. Dampening your cotton pad before application can also help to dilute the exfoliating process slightly until your skin becomes accustomed to the product. Alternatively, we would recommend starting with an exfoliator specifically formulated with sensitive skin in mind such as Generation Glow.

Oh my God! I have tried this product for a month (every 3 nights) and my skin has a glow that I can't even tell you about! I feel it smoother, more radiant and I've only had it for a month!!! I get married with this product!
I admit that I tried it with fear because my skin is quite sensitive and unfortunately I didn't take before photos, but believe me when I tell you that it's wonderful!
