FAQ

Can I layer this with retinoids or exfoliating acids? Yes. Apply retinoids or acids first on clean, dry skin. Allow them to fully absorb, then gently dab this treatment on top. Adjust frequency if irritation occurs.

How often can I apply it on active breakouts? Use one to two times daily on clean skin. If dryness appears, reduce to once daily or apply only at night.

Will it work under makeup? Yes. Apply a thin layer and let it fully set. Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. Keep layers light to prevent pilling.
