How to apply

- Apply the exfoliant after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliant into your skin and let it absorb fully. Avoid any harsh rubbing to keep your skin calm.

Where does this exfoliant go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

Can I use this exfoliant with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this exfoliant with retinol by applying them on different nights or spacing them out to prevent dryness and irritation. Using strong exfoliants and retinol together requires careful timing to keep oily skin calm and comfortable.
