How to Use

Apply to clean, damp skin (this is crucial!). Dispense 3-4 drops onto fingertips or palm. Pat gently onto face and neck. Apply while skin is still slightly wet from cleansing. Wait 1-2 minutes for absorption. Follow immediately with moisturizer to seal in. Use morning and evening. Can be applied multiple times if skin is very dry. Always apply to damp skin - HA draws moisture, needs water to work. If skin feels tight, you didn't seal with moisturizer quickly enough. Can mix with other serums in palm before applying. Spray face with water/mist before application if skin dried after cleansing. Layer under oils or creams, never after.
