Questions and answers

What does resorcinol do for the skin?

Resorcinol is a skincare ingredient that helps target uneven skin tone, dark spots, and blemishes. It may also help support skin renewal, but it is important to use it with care as it can be drying or irritating.

How do you use resorcinol?

Resorcinol is typically used in skincare treatments as directed on specific product labels to help address uneven skin tone. Because it is a potent ingredient, it should be introduced gradually into your routine to minimize potential irritation.

Should you use resorcinol in the morning or at night?

You can use resorcinol at night, but you should avoid using it in the morning to prevent increased sun sensitivity. Always follow up with sunscreen during the day when using this ingredient.

Can you use resorcinol every day?

Resorcinol is typically not used every day because it is a potent chemical exfoliant and peeling agent that can cause excessive dryness and irritation with daily application. It is generally recommended to use it only a few times a week or as directed by a product's instructions.

Does resorcinol cause purging or irritation?

Resorcinol may cause irritation, so it is best to introduce it slowly into your routine. It is unlikely to cause purging.

Which skin types is resorcinol best for?

Resorcinol is best for skin types prone to dark spots and uneven tone, as found in the Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum.
