Results vary by individual, and no outcome is guaranteed.

Patch Test and Usage Instructions

1. Perform a patch test before first use of each Product by applying a small amount to a discreet area as directed by Company and monitoring for at least 24–48 hours.

2. Read and follow all directions for use, frequency, quantity, layering, and product combinations provided on labels, inserts, or Company communications.

3. Do not mix Products with contraindicated actives or procedures, including but not limited to concurrent use of multiple strong exfoliants, retinoids with strong acids, waxing, dermaplaning, peels, microneedling, or laser treatments without appropriate intervals as advised by a qualified professional.

4. Use daily broad-spectrum sun protection and protective measures while using exfoliants, acids, or retinoids and for an appropriate period thereafter due to increased photosensitivity.

5. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if Client experiences signs of an adverse reaction, such as severe irritation, pain, blistering, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing, and promptly notify Company of the reaction.

6. Store and use Products only as directed, keep out of reach of children, and avoid eye contact unless a Product is specifically indicated for that area.
