Your Guide to AHAs & BHAs

August 28, 2025 by Natalie

The skincare acids that refine and renew for a healthier complexion.

AHA, BHA—you’ve likely seen these acronyms everywhere, from skincare blogs to product labels. While the word “acid” might sound intimidating, these ingredients are actually gentle, powerful exfoliants that can transform your skin. But before you dive in, it’s important to understand the key differences between alpha-hydroxy acids and beta-hydroxy acids to find the right one for your specific skin concerns.

With so many exfoliants available, how do you know which one is best for your skin?

In this post, we’ll explain the differences between AHAs and BHAs, their unique benefits, and help you find the perfect exfoliant for your skin type!

What are AHAs?

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are water-soluble acids, including glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids. They are particularly suitable for dry or sun-damaged skin. AHAs promote moisture retention and improve the overall radiance of the skin.

If you want a fresh, luminous complexion, incorporating AHAs into your skincare routine could be the ideal solution!

What are BHAs?

Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are oil-soluble acids, the most common of which are salicylic acid and lipohydroxy acid (LHA). If you tend to suffer from acne, blackheads, or enlarged pores, incorporating BHAs into your skincare routine can promote clearer, healthier skin.

Why use both?

Incorporating both AHAs and BHAs into your skincare routine can help you achieve perfectly balanced skin.

AHAs exfoliate the surface of the skin, improving its texture and radiance, while BHAs penetrate deeper to unclog pores and fight acne.

This combined approach addresses multiple skin concerns: AHAs promote hydration and radiance, while BHAs regulate sebum production and prevent breakouts.

You can tailor your skincare routine to your specific needs.

Whether you choose to focus on one type or incorporate both, these exfoliants can significantly improve the texture, clarity, and overall health of your skin.

Embrace the power of these acids and watch your complexion transform into a true work of art—glowing and radiant!

Retinol FAQ

August 27, 2025 by Natalie

The most frequently asked questions about retinol, answered.

Retinol has earned its place as one of the most researched and effective ingredients in modern skincare. From reducing fine lines and wrinkles to improving texture, tone and breakouts, it offers a wide range of benefits. Yet, because it’s also known for potential side effects like dryness or irritation, many people have questions about how to use it correctly.

In this FAQ, we break down everything you need to know about retinol so you can incorporate it into your routine with confidence.

1. What is retinol?

Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A used in cosmetics for its anti-aging and anti-acne effects and to improve skin texture. It stimulates cell renewal and collagen and elastin production.

2. At what age can you start using retinol?

In general, you can start using it in your twenties to prevent the signs of aging, or earlier in cases of persistent acne. It is especially recommended for people aged 25-30 and above.

3. When should you apply it?

Always in the evening, as retinol can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. In the morning, it is essential to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).

4. Should you moisturize after using retinol?

Yes! Moisturizing is crucial to limit side effects such as dryness or irritation. Apply a moisturizer after retinol.

5. What are the side effects?

– Redness

– Dryness

– Flaking

– Increased sensitivity

These effects are normal at first and diminish over time. If irritation is too severe, reduce the frequency of use.

6. Can it be used with other active ingredients?

Avoid combining retinol with:

– AHA/BHA (exfoliating acids)

– Vitamin C (in the same routine)

– Strongly scented or irritating products

You can combine it with:

– Niacinamide (soothes and moisturizes)

– Ceramides

– Hyaluronic acid

7. How long before I see results?

The first results (smoother skin, radiance) appear after 4 to 8 weeks. The deeper anti-aging effects take 3 to 6 months.

8. Should I stop using it in the summer or if I go on vacation?

No, but you should increase your sun protection. If you have very sensitive skin or plan to be exposed to strong sunlight, you can reduce the frequency or take a break.

I Have Dark Spots: How To Best Treat Them?

August 27, 2025August 26, 2025 by Natalie

Ingredients to look for and treatments that can help fade hyperpigmentation.

Here are the main ways to treat pigmentation and dark spots:

1. Topical Creams & Serums

The most effective active ingredients include:

Niacinamide: Reduces dark spots and soothes the skin.

Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that brightens the complexion.

Azelaic Acid: Ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Retinol: Stimulates cell renewal and fades dark spots.

Exfoliating Acids (AHA/BHA): Remove pigmented cells from the surface.

2. Dermatological Treatments

For more severe or resistant cases:

Chemical Peels: based on glycolic or trichloroacetic acid.

Laser: targets deep pigmentation.

Cryotherapy: destroys pigmented cells using cold temperatures.

Microneedling + Brightening Serums: stimulates skin regeneration.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Used for darker skin tones.

3. Daily Sun Protection

This is essential to prevent new spots from appearing and old ones from getting worse. Use SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days (365 days a year!).

4. Prevention & Care

Avoid touching or scratching spots (risk of post-inflammatory spots).

Incorporate lightening treatments into your routine, even after having the spots treated.

Moisturize your skin well to strengthen its natural barrier.

Following these tips should help treat or reduce their appearance. We recommend consulting a professional if the spots persist.

Introducing Manuel Mathieu Parfums

August 19, 2025 by Natalie

A Manifestion of Self-Evolution.

We are thrilled to share that Manuel Mathieu Parfums is now available at Etiket.

Created by acclaimed contemporary artist Manuel Mathieu, this fragrance collection embodies his mastery of emotion, colour and form. Each scent is an intricate composition – a rare fusion of artistic vision and olfactory elegance.

ABOUT MANUEL MATHIEU

Manuel Mathieu is an artist deeply rooted in his personal and collective history. His artistic practice ranges from abstract painting to cinema and now perfumery. With his fragrances, he offers a sensory extension of his work, where memory, form, emotion, and storytelling come together.

He collaborated on his inaugural collection with VP perfumer at IFF in Paris Juliette Karagueuzoglou, who boasts a rich history of partnerships with renowned brands like Yves Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo and Giorgio Armani. Both were united by a shared ethos: revealing their inner selves to share personal stories that impact others.

THE BOTTLE DESIGN

Manuel Mathieu realized the design of the bottle was just as important as the scent within. Mathieu creates ceramics in his art practice, and began to conceptualize the bottle in his ceramic studio. To him, shaping clay is molding the earth, physically and spiritually. Through his process, he searched for something that felt familiar, with tension and moments of disruption.

The chosen design stands on its own as a sculpture, a shape similar to a mountain. Haiti, Manuel Mathieu’s homeland, means “land of high mountains” in the indigenous Taíno language. The bottle pays homage to the land while creating its own mythical mountain, reflecting Mathieu’s origin story, and the artist himself.

THE COLLECTION

Île Noire EDP
**MANUEL MATHIEU PARFUMS**

A beacon for land and sea. Île Noire takes us on a mysterious and transformative exploration of Haitian memories, history and spirituality.

Eccco EDP
**MANUEL MATHIEU PARFUMS**

A new beginning, and the scents and emotions that accompany it. The journey of a flower from seed to smoke, then back to seed again—evoking themes of rebirth and renewal.

Dsire EDP
**MANUEL MATHIEU PARFUMS**

Unrestrained pleasure: Dsire is the first breath of a magnetic world. A bewitching portrait of seduction, desire and intimacy, and the daydreams that follow.

Archipel Discovery Set 3x5ml
**MANUEL MATHIEU PARFUMS**

Uncover Archipel: a trio of perfumes created by Manuel Mathieu, designed to stand alone and complement each other. This discovery set is your invitation to explore and define your signature scent.

Who Is Manuel Mathieu?

August 19, 2025 by Natalie

Get to know Manuel Mathieu, creator of the eponymous fragrance brand.

Manuel Mathieu was born in October 1986 in Port-au-Prince, Haïti. He emigrated to Montreal at the age of 19 to live with his grandmother.

In 2016, he completed his Masters in Fine Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London.

His Artistic Journey

His work explores major themes: historical violence, erasure, spiritual heritage, nature, memory, and resilience, particularly in relation to Haitian history and diasporic identity.

He crafts an abstract visual language where figurative and abstract elements blend to create emotional and vibrational experiences.

Exhibitions & Collections

His artwork has been exhibited in prestigious institutions including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, the Grand Palais in Paris, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.

His works are part of public and private collections such as Hydro-Québec, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the National Gallery of Canada, the Rubell Collection, and JP Morgan.

Recent Project & Fragrance

In 2023–2024, he expanded his mediums to include video and cinema, notably with his film installation Pendulum, which was acclaimed at the International Film Festival on Art (winning the award for best short film in 2023).

In 2025, he launched his perfume brand, “Chapter 1,” featuring three unisex fragrances (Dsire, Île noire, and ECCCO) created in collaboration with perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou (IFF). The handcrafted ceramic bottles echo Haitian landscapes, particularly mountains (high mountain islands), and highlight the convergence between visual art, emotion, and memory.

Manuel Mathieu is an artist deeply rooted in his personal and collective history. His artistic practice ranges from abstract painting to cinema and now perfumery. With his perfumes, he offers a sensory extension of his work, where memory, form, emotion, and storytelling come together, and we are very proud to offer them at Etiket, in stores and online at Etiket.ca.

Coral Obsession: Is It for Everyone?

August 14, 2025 by Natalie

Everything you need to know to embrace (or avoid) coral makeup.

Coral, that vibrant shade between pink and orange, is a key feature of summer makeup. Fresh, luminous, and flattering, it can transform a look in an instant. But is it a universal colour? Here’s everything you need to know to embrace (or avoid) coral makeup.

Coral evokes warmth, joy, and energy. It’s perfect for:

Brightening the complexion: especially in summer, it gives it an instant healthy glow.

Adding freshness: on the lips or cheeks, it helps revitalizes the face.

Adapting to multiple styles: from a natural look to more daring makeup.

Can Everyone Pull Off Coral?

Good news: almost everyone can wear coral, as long as you pick the right shade.

Light Complexions:

Opt for pink or pastel corals, which complement your skin tone.

Avoid corals that are too orange, as they can appear too bright.

Medium Complexions:

Classic coral shades (neither too pink nor too orange) are perfect.

They enhance the complexion without creating too much contrast.

Dark Complexions:

Deep orange corals are super flattering.

They add light and contrast without looking artificial.

Who should avoid coral (or use it with caution)?

Coral can be tricky in some cases:

Very pink skin or skin prone to redness: Coral can accentuate redness. Opt for more neutral or cool tones.

Very cool tones: Warm coral can create too strong a contrast. Try corals that lean toward pink or raspberry.

Very colourful outfits: Be careful not to overload the look. Coral goes best with neutral or complementary colours.

How Can You Incorporate Coral Into Your Routine?

On the Lips:

A coral lipstick is ideal for a fresh, summery look.

Choose a glossy texture for a natural effect, or matte for more intensity.

On the Cheeks:

A coral blush gives an instant healthy glow.

Apply it lightly to avoid a “sunburnt” effect.

On the Eyes:

More daring, coral eyeshadow can look stunning on hazel or green eyes.

Combine it with golden or brown tones for a harmonious look.

Coral is a cheerful and versatile colour, but like any shade, it requires a little adjustment depending on your skin tone and style. The key? Test, adjust, and have fun!

FAQ: A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum

August 4, 2025 by Natalie

Your common questions on SkinCeutical's new anti-aging serum, answered.

When it comes to visibly reversing the signs of time, few products blend innovation and elegance quite like SkinCeuticals’ A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum. Crafted to address the loss of elasticity, firmness, and radiance, this concentrated formula is the answer to one of skin’s most complex concerns: glycation. In this FAQ, we explore the science behind the serum, how to incorporate it into your ritual, and why it’s becoming a staple in high-performance skincare routines.

What does A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum do?

A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum visibly lifts and tightens 4 key facial and neck areas. It is clinically proven to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and noticeable signs of aging including those linked to Advanced Glycation End-Products (A.G.E.), which occurs when sugar molecules bind to collagen resulting in loss of elasticity.

How long before A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum shows visible results?

A.G.E. Interrupted Ultra serum instantly hydrates skin, and has been tested to deliver clinical anti-aging results after consistent use for at least 4 weeks.

Can A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum be used every day?

Yes, it is recommended that A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum be used twice daily, morning and night.

How do skin-tightening serums work?

Skin-tightening serums, such as A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum, help reverse the visible signs of aging associated with glycation, a process where sugar molecules bind to collagen fibres in the skin, weakening them and making the skin more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. Double-patented A.G.E. Serum technology supports collagen synthesis to maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity for a lifted look on key areas.

Can I use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with retinol?

Yes, you can use a lifting serum like A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with formulas containing retinol. It is recommended that A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum be applied at night after a retinol formula.

Can I use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with hyaluronic acid?

Yes, you can use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with formulas containing hyaluronic acid. It works synergistically with hyaluronic acid in lifting and volumizing.

Can I use A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with vitamin C?

Yes, you can use a face-firming serum like A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum with formulas containing vitamin C, including CE Ferulic. If using A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum in the morning, it is recommended that it is applied after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum and before sunscreen.

How To Care for Your Hair in Summer

July 24, 2025July 23, 2025 by Natalie

Our tips for radiant hair.

Summer brings sun, swimming and heat… but also challenges for our hair! Between UV rays, chlorine, sea salt and heat, our hair can quickly become dry, dull and brittle. Here are our best tips for keeping your hair healthy and shiny all summer long.

1. Protect Your Hair From the Sun

Use a hair spray with a UV filter, especially if you have colour-treated or highlighted hair.

Recommended Product:

Recommended Product:

Recommended Product:
