Directions for Use


  1. Start Slow: Use 2x per week for first 2 weeks (night-time only!)
  2. Build Tolerance: Increase to every other night for weeks 3-4
  3. Go Daily: From week 5, use nightly if skin tolerates well
  4. Apply Smart: Cleanse, tone, then apply pea-sized amount to face
  5. Seal the Deal: Always follow with moisturiser & SPF 50+ during the day
Pro tip: Do not mix with vitamin C or exfoliants - let this beauty work solo!
