Setup, Compatibility & Care
Patch Test: Before initial use, apply a small amount to a discreet area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or jawline) and wait 24-48 hours to check for any adverse reaction.
Application: After cleansing, dispense the toner onto a cotton pad or directly into your hands. Gently sweep across the face, avoiding the eye area.
Frequency: Start by using the toner once a day, preferably in the evening. If tolerated well, you may increase to twice a day (morning and evening).
Layering: Allow the toner to absorb fully before applying other skincare products.
Sun Protection: Always use a broad-spectrum SPF during the day, as BHA can increase sun sensitivity.
Compatibility: This toner is generally compatible with other skincare products. However, avoid using it simultaneously with other harsh exfoliants or ingredients that can cause irritation, such as high concentrations of AHAs or retinoids, unless you have incorporated these into your routine under the guidance of a professional.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the pump is properly secured to prevent leakage.
