Exfol-A Forté
"I’ve seen incredible results with Vivant Skincare Exfol-A Forte for clients dealing with very persistent acne and stubborn pigmentation. It’s the stronger step in the Vivant vitamin A system, so I only recommend it after someone has already adjusted to Exfol-A. Most people do great with Exfol-A alone, but Forte can make a big difference when the skin needs that extra push."Laziza K

This treatment is best for individuals with oily, thicker, or more resistant skin who are already comfortable using vitamin A products. It works best for clients who have already acclimated to earlier retinoid steps in the Vivant system — typically those who have finished at least two bottles of Vivant Skincare Exfol-A before moving up to this stronger formula.
Both products address the same concerns — acne, texture, pigmentation, and signs of aging. The main difference is the retinoid strength. Exfol-A contains 0.25% vitamin A, while Exfol-A Forte contains 0.5%, making it the stronger option. Because these are strong products, it’s best to build up gradually: most routines start with Derm-A-Gel, then move to Exfol-A, and eventually Exfol-A Forte. It is recommended to finish about two bottles of each step before moving to the next so the skin has time to adjust. In many cases, Exfol-A is already strong enough, and Exfol-A Forte is only needed if additional strength is required.
It can help improve acne, uneven texture, sun damage, and discoloration. The combination of retinoids and exfoliating acids helps encourage consistent cell turnover, which supports smoother skin and clearer pores over time.
Yes. It is often used on thicker skin areas such as the back, chest, arms, and backs of hands where sun damage, rough texture, or breakouts may occur.
Yes. Because it is a stronger renewal treatment, some dryness or mild peeling may occur as the skin adjusts. It is generally recommended for skin that has already built tolerance to retinoids to help maintain comfort and reduce irritation during use.
