Cleanse your face thoroughly before application. This removes dirt and oil, allowing for better serum absorption.
Apply a few drops of serum to your fingertips. Don’t use too much; a little goes a long way.
Gently massage the serum onto your face and neck using upward strokes. Avoid harsh rubbing.
Follow with your moisturizer. This seals in the serum’s benefits and adds extra hydration.
Morning or Night?
Many find morning application ideal for its antioxidant properties protecting against sun damage. However, nighttime use allows for undisturbed absorption while you sleep.
Frequency and Consistency
Consistency is key. Use the serum daily for optimal results. Adjust frequency based on your skin’s response; if you notice irritation, reduce application to every other day.
Understanding Potential Interactions
| Retinoids | May cause irritation | Use Vitamin C in the morning and retinoids at night. |
| AHAs/BHAs | Possible increased sensitivity | Introduce products gradually, monitor skin response. |
Troubleshooting
If you experience redness or irritation, reduce usage frequency or discontinue use. Always patch test a new product on a small area of skin before full application.
