Why APS?
Because exfoliation is only half the story.
AP1 — Renew
10% glycolic acid helps remove accumulated surface cells that can contribute to dullness, rough texture, uneven-looking tone, visible dark spots, post-blemish marks, and congestion.
AP2 — Recover
Hydration, soothing, conditioning, and barrier-supporting care help replenish the skin afterward.
Together — Reveal
Skin that looks smoother, brighter, more even, supple, and visibly radiant.
Two different jobs. One complete treatment.
What APS Helps Address
Dullness
Accelerated exfoliation helps reveal fresher-looking radiance.
Rough or Uneven Texture
Glycolic acid helps refine the appearance of accumulated surface roughness.
Uneven Tone + Visible Dark Spots
AP1 helps improve the appearance of localized discoloration and post-blemish marks.
Congestion
Glycolic acid helps remove accumulated dead surface cells that may contribute to clogged pores.
Dehydrated or Depleted-Looking Skin
AP2 replenishes hydration and conditions the skin following accelerated exfoliation.

APS enhances — rather than replaces — your regular Metrin Skincare System.
Your Metrin ritual provides the foundation of consistent daily care.
APS provides periodic accelerated treatment when your skin needs more.
AP1 and AP2 are available individually for replenishment or standalone use.
But they perform complementary jobs:
AP1 renews through exfoliation.
AP2 supports renewal through replenishment.
For accelerated treatment, APS is the recommended starting point.
Some temporary tingling can occur with an AHA treatment.
Start AP1 gradually and use according to skin tolerance. Reduce or discontinue use if significant or persistent redness, burning, swelling, excessive peeling, or discomfort develops.
Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using AP1 and for one week afterward.

FAQ

AP1 helps remove accumulated dead surface cells that may contribute to clogged pores and congestion. It is not an acne medication.
Yes. AP1 can be used independently, but Metrin recommends the complete APS when accelerated exfoliation and recovery are the goal.
Use AP1 at night1–3 times weekly according to skin tolerance. More frequent exfoliation does not necessarily produce better results.
