During a galvanic treatment, it is essential to use solutions that are specifically designed for conductivity and absorption into the skin through the process of iontophoresis. Conductive gels or serums are formulated to facilitate the flow of electrical currents, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment. These gels typically contain active ingredients that can penetrate the skin more efficiently when assisted by the galvanic current, allowing for deeper product infusion and more significant skin benefits.

Using moisturizers, exfoliating scrubs, or acne treatments may not provide the necessary conductivity or may interfere with the effectiveness of the galvanic current. For instance, standard moisturizers may not have the right consistency or ionic properties to work effectively in this context, and exfoliating scrubs could disrupt the treatment process by exfoliating the skin excessively or causing irritation. Acne treatments may not be appropriately formulated for iontophoresis, which could reduce their efficacy in combination with galvanic current. Therefore, conductive gels or serums are the optimal choice during galvanic treatments to achieve the desired results.
