How to Use
When to Use: Morning and evening, during the serum step of your skincare routine.
Application:
After cleansing and toning, use the dropper to apply a small amount (2-3 drops) to the entire face or targeted areas.
Gently pat to aid absorption. If absorption feels slow, apply in smaller amounts or layer gradually.
Follow with a moisturizer or hydrating cream to lock in the product.
Tips:
Perform a patch test for first-time users to check for sensitivity.
Pair with hyaluronic acid or a moisturizer for enhanced hydration.
Avoid overuse to prevent pilling; a small amount is sufficient.
