How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help smooth fine lines.
  • Apply this product after your toner and serum, but before your SPF in the morning. Follow your cleanser and toner steps to keep your skin balanced.
  • Gently press a small amount into your face and neck. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent extra tension.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. Clean skin helps the product absorb much more evenly.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to stay safe.

What does Carnosine do for mature skin?

Carnosine helps protect mature skin by fighting free radicals and reducing the buildup of harmful sugar compounds that stiffen fibers over time. Using products with carnosine may improve firmness and keep skin looking smooth as it ages.

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2018International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2024

What does Vitamin B do for mature skin?

Vitamin B, specifically niacinamide, helps mature skin by smoothing fine lines, fading dark spots, and reducing redness while keeping the skin barrier strong and well-hydrated. Regular use twice daily improves overall skin elasticity and surface structure, making aging skin look brighter and feel firmer.

Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?

This cream is a poor match for mature skin, so it is best to avoid using it with retinol to prevent irritation. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients and barrier-restoring lipids to keep mature skin calm and soft.

This cream is a poor match for mature skin, which generally needs rich moisturizers with nourishing oils and vitamins to stay soft and smooth.

Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
