How to use

Start with once a day, note how your skin responds, then build up to twice daily.

  • Unlock by twisting the top half of the pump anti-clockwise until it clicks.
  • After cleansing, hold a facial pad firmly over the dispenser and push down 3-4 times.
  • Sweep the pad over the complexion, avoiding the delicate eye area.
  • To secure, twist the pump clockwise until it clicks.

If you are using a refill, transfer the pump from your previous bottle and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. Patch test at least 24 hours before first use.
