Prep Your Skin

• Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser.

• Pat dry — do not rub.

2. Apply the Cream

• Take a pea-sized amount (more if directed by the product).

• Apply evenly over areas of pigmentation or your whole face, depending on instructions.

• Avoid the immediate eye area unless the product is designed for it.

3. Massage Gently

• Use upward, circular motions.

• Let it absorb fully before applying other products.

4. When to Use

• Brightening creams: Often morning and/or night, depending on ingredients.

• Anti-aging creams: Often night-time, especially if they contain retinol or exfoliating acids.

5. Sunscreen is Essential

• If using brightening or anti-aging actives (e.g., vitamin C, retinol, AHAs, kojic acid), apply broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher every morning.

• UV exposure can worsen pigmentation and reduce results.

• Store at room temperature (usually 20–25°C).

• Keep away from direct sunlight, as light-sensitive ingredients (retinol, vitamin C) can degrade.

• Avoid extreme heat or freezing temperatures.

• Keep the container tightly closed to prevent oxidation.

• Do not store in very humid places for long periods (e.g., right next to a constantly running shower).

• Keep out of reach of children.

General Precautions

• Read the label first, as strong brightening/anti-aging ingredients may have specific rules.

• Avoid applying on broken, irritated, or sunburned skin unless the product says otherwise.

• Patch test recommended:

  • Apply a tiny amount on the forearm or behind the ear for 24 hours to check for sensitivity.

• If you experience burning, redness, itching, peeling, or swelling, stop using it and consult a professional.

Ingredient-Specific Precautions

• Retinol / Retinoids:

  • Use at night only (unless product says daytime-safe).

  • Introduce gradually (e.g., 2–3 nights per week at first).

  • Avoid mixing with strong exfoliants unless instructed.

• Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid):

  • Can irritate sensitive skin.

  • Store away from heat and light to prevent oxidation.

• AHAs/BHAs (glycolic, lactic, salicylic acid):

  • May increase sun sensitivity.

  • Limit use if skin becomes dry or irritated.

• Kojic acid / Arbutin:

  • Avoid overuse; too frequent application may cause sensitivity or mild irritation.

Use Caution If:

• You have very sensitive or reactive skin.

• You are using multiple active products (risk of over-exfoliation).

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding — some ingredients (e.g., retinoids) are not recommended, so check with a healthcare provider.
