It's formulated to minimize the dryness and peeling associated with traditional retinols. It uses a next-generation retinoid that works directly in the skin — with little to no conversion, unlike traditional retinol, which must convert through multiple steps — and is paired with a humectant complex of four forms of hyaluronic acid plus glycerin to keep skin hydrated. As with any retinoid, start slowly and patch test.

It's powered by Granactive Retinoid (hydroxypinacolone retinoate), a next-generation retinoid. Because it works at or very close to the skin's active retinoic acid — rather than going through the multiple conversion steps traditional retinol requires — it's less irritating and less sensitizing while still being effective.

Apply one to two pumps to your face and neck in the evening after cleansing, followed by your favorite moisturizer. Start out using it about twice a week, then gradually build up to five times a week as your skin adjusts.

Yes — daily SPF is a must while using any retinoid. Beyond protecting your results, UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin and is a leading cause of premature aging, so wearing sunscreen every day helps prevent fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

You can use the tool in whichever direction is easiest for you, whether moving downward, upward, or to the side.

Forty-five degrees to the skin. Index finger right up near the blade, not back on the handle — the closer your hand is to the blade, the more control you have. Other hand pulls the skin taut.

Pull your hair back and make sure your skin is completely clean and dry — never dermaplane on damp skin or over products.

Replace the blade about once a month for best results. Blades dull with use, so a fresh one keeps results smooth and even.

You can dermaplane about once a week (1–4 times a month), depending on your skin type and comfort level.

In the evening, apply about half a dropper to clean, dry skin on the face and neck and gently press it in. It's a leave-on treatment — don't rinse. Use 3–5 times per week (never daily), follow with your serums and moisturizer, and always wear SPF the next day.

The TCA Multi-Acid Face Peel helps with dull, uneven, textured, and congested skin, as well as dryness. It helps fade the look of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, clear clogged pores and breakouts, soften the appearance of fine lines, and improve overall tone and texture.

Use your free hand to hold the skin taut in the area you're working on, which helps the blade glide smoothly and safely.

Start with clean, completely dry skin. Cleanse thoroughly to remove all makeup, oil, and product, and make sure your skin is fully dry before you begin. Dermaplaning should always be done on dry skin — if you apply oil first, the blade can't properly exfoliate the dead skin and peach fuzz.

The dermaplaning tool removes the buildup of dead skin and peach fuzz. This increases the ability of skincare products to be absorbed into the skin, evens out skin tone, and smooths rough skin texture.

Yes — the handle is fully reusable and built to last. You simply replace the blade over time, keeping the same durable handle for a smooth, easy grip

Yes, the blades must be purchased separately from the reusable handle. They are available in a pack of three.

Hold the tool at a 45-degree angle and use short, light, downward strokes, barely applying any pressure. Let the blade glide across clean, dry skin — never press hard or drag it.

Right after dermaplaning, the skin is freshly exfoliated and most receptive, so it's the perfect time to apply your treatment serums. Follow with the StackedSkincare EGF Activating Serum to nourish, support healing, and lock in hydration — dermaplaning boosts absorption, so your actives work even harder.

Yes — the neck is an important area to treat. Rolling here can help with the lines that form from constantly looking down at your phone, often called 'tech neck.' Use light pressure.

Yes, the handle is reusable. You only need to purchase replacement blades.

You can dermaplane your entire cheek, jaw, chin, the area above your lips, and your forehead.

It uses a sharper, higher-quality blade with more blade exposure, so it removes more dead skin and peach fuzz without irritation. Unlike flimsy, lightweight alternatives, it features a heavy-duty aluminum handle that makes it easy to maneuver. Many other tools rely on a dull blade behind a heavy guard, which only skims the surface and can tug at the skin — the StackedSkincare blade glides for a smoother, more effective exfoliation.

Always hold your handle with your finger at the base of the head to give you maximum control. You can hold it like a pencil, resting your index finger on top of the blade when using downward strokes, or underneath the blade when moving upward, and let it glide with light pressure.

It was designed by celebrity esthetician Kerry Benjamin, the founder of StackedSkincare, to give you a fresh, smooth, post-facial look at home.

Replace the blade about once a month for best results. Blades dull with use, so a fresh one keeps results smooth and even.

Dermaplaning removes dead skin and peach fuzz, helps your skincare absorb better, softens the look of fine lines, helps with dry, flaky skin, and lets makeup go on more smoothly. Over time it can help improve the look of uneven texture, dark spots, and acne scarring — for an instantly softer, brighter, smoother look.

Dermaplaning removes the layer of dead skin that can block absorption, so your serums and moisturizers penetrate better and the active ingredients work more effectively.

You can dermaplane about once a week (1–4 times a month), depending on your skin type and comfort level.

The tool can be used however it's easiest for you, whether it's going downward, upward, or even to the side in short little strokes. Let the blade glide — don't press or drag.

Hold the blade at a 45-degree angle against your skin — never flat or perpendicular.
