- This serum offers moderate benefits for your normal skin, with niacinamide and Centella Asiatica Extract providing excellent revitalization and calming effects suitable for general skincare needs. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid also contribute to hydration, supporting your skin's overall health.
- While beneficial for hydration and soothing, the ingredients are not specifically targeted to address your primary concern of wrinkles and fine lines.

- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
- You can apply the serum on dry skin for the best results against fine lines.
