How to apply

  • Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but right before your moisturizer for the best results.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin. Let it absorb ⏱ for a minute before applying the next product.
  • Apply the serum on clean and dry skin since your skin is not sensitive and you want to target oily shine. This helps control excess oil throughout the night.
  • Avoid the delicate eye area and do a patch test before using the serum for the very first time.

People Say

★4.1Overall rating based on 1.2k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this cream is highly effective for mature and thinning skin, with users frequently reporting significant reduction in deep wrinkles and improved skin texture, leading to a plumper, firmer appearance. It is also noted for providing deep hydration.
