Question

Will using Activated Resorcinol™ at 1% concentration in a leave-on product cause skin irritation, and what can be done to prevent it?

Answer

Activated Resorcinol​™ (4-Butyl Resorcinol) Irritation at 1%

Using Activated Resorcinol​™ at a concentration of 1% in a leave-on product (like a cream or gel) is the maximum recommended usage rate. While 1% is within the suggested limit, the product description indicates that high doses can cause skin irritation, especially with consistent use.

To help prevent potential irritation when using Activated Resorcinol​™ at 1%, it is recommended to combine it with anti-irritant ingredients such as Natural Bisabolol.
