How to Use
Directions: After cleanser and/or toner, apply a small amount over the face. Gently pat the face to help absorb the product. Allow 10 to 20 minutes for the product to fully absorb. Follow by serum or moisturizer.
It is recommended to do a patch test to check for irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Start by incorporating it into the routine once a week, then gradually build up to 2-3 times a week. Gradually increasing the frequency of use to 2-3 times will give your skin time to adjust, allowing the irritation to subdue.
