Step-by-Step Guide
1. Cleanse Your Skin
○ Begin by thoroughly cleansing your face with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and oils.
○ Pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel.
2. Perform a Patch Test (Recommended)
○ Before full application, place a small amount on the inner wrist or behind your ear.
○ Wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions, such as redness, itching, or irritation.
3. Dispense the Serum
○ Shake the bottle gently.
○ Use the dropper to apply 2-3 drops into the palm of your hand.
4. Apply to Face and Neck
○ Rub your palms together to spread the serum, then gently press it onto your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
○ Focus on areas with uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, or rough texture.
5. Massage Gently
○ Using your fingertips, massage the serum in upward circular motions to ensure even coverage.
○ Allow the serum to absorb for 1-2 minutes before proceeding to the next step.
6. Follow-Up Care
○ Daytime: If using the serum in the morning, always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher afterward. Glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
○ Nighttime: At night, follow with a hydrating moisturizer to seal in the active ingredients and provide extra hydration.
