Once your face is clean and dry, take a small amount of the product and apply it evenly over your entire face. Make sure to avoid getting the product into your eyes.
For best results, it is recommended to use the product nightly. Apply it before going to bed, allowing it to work overnight.
Pay attention to your skin's response. If you experience any dryness or redness after using the product, reduce the frequency of application. You can start by using it every other night or as necessary to minimize any discomfort.
During the day, it is important to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Therefore, it is highly recommended to wear a sunscreen with a suitable SPF to shield your skin from UV damage.
Repeat these steps consistently to maintain a healthy skincare routine and maximize the benefits.
