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.
