Troubleshooting
Product feels sticky or heavy
Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer. Allow sufficient time for absorption before applying makeup. If the issue persists, consider if you are using an excessive amount or if it's layered with incompatible skincare products.
White cast or residue visible
You may be applying too much product. Use a smaller amount and ensure it's spread evenly. Massage it gently into the skin until fully absorbed. This serum is designed to be invisible on multiple skin tones, so a white cast typically indicates over-application.
Skin irritation or redness after use
While formulated for all skin types, individual sensitivities can occur. Discontinue use if irritation persists. Ensure you are applying only to clean skin and avoiding the eye area. Patch testing on a small area of skin is recommended for those with very sensitive skin.
Product separates in the bottle
This can occasionally happen with fluid formulations. Gently shake the bottle before use to re-emulsify the product. Ensure the cap is securely closed to prevent drying and separation.
