Before You Wax: What You Need to Know About Skin Sensitivities & Medications

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING:


Waxing should NEVER be performed on clients taking Accutane and is not recommended for anyone using Retin A, Renova, Differin, or any skin-thinning acne medications. These medications can cause the skin to lift or tear during waxing.


Always check your product labels and consult your dermatologist before waxing if you’re using any topical or oral medications for acne or anti-aging.

• Accutane (Acne medication)

• Adapalene (Acne medication)

• Alustra (Retin A)

• Avage (Tazorac – Acne medication)

• Avita (Retin A)

• Differin (Acne medication)

• Isotretinoin (Accutane)

• Renova (Retin A)

• Retin A (Acne + Anti-aging medication)

• Tazarac (Acne medication)

• Tazarotene (Tazorac)

• Tretinoin (Retin A)
