How To Use
Regimen Step: Two
Use after cleansing and before applying corrective serums to clear the skin of loose epidermal cells and impurities and allow for optimal product penetration.
Frequency: Up to twice daily - AM and PM. Start usage every other day. Increase to daily or twice daily as skin becomes acclimated. Frequency may be increased to remove excess oil or to accelerate your skin care program.
Method: Start usage every other day. After cleansing, moisten a cotton pad and gently apply on face, neck and decollete. Increase to morning and evening usage, as tolerated.
Pro tips:
Refrigerate during warmer months for a refreshing lift.
May be used between cleansings as a stimulating toner. Those with combination skin may use more often to control oil during the summer months or in hot humid climates.
