Instructions and Warnings:
- For external use on the face and neck skin only.
- Avoid direct contact of the essence with the inside of the eyes, and in case of contact, rinse them thoroughly with water.
- Do not use the product on open wounds or severely inflamed or irritated skin.
- If your skin is sensitive or you have not previously used products containing fermented ingredients, it is preferable to test tolerance on a small area before using it on the entire face.
- Although its formula is free of added fragrances, this does not prevent individual sensitivity to one of the ingredients.
- If you have a known sensitivity to Galactomyces or one of the formula's ingredients, avoid using the product.
- Use a moderate amount of essence, as applying many layers does not guarantee faster results in evening out the color or improving radiance.
- Do not rub the skin hard during application, as gentle patting is sufficient to distribute the product and help it absorb.
- It can be used with niacinamide, vitamin C, or other skincare products, but it is preferable to introduce new products gradually to reduce the likelihood of irritation.
- When using retinol or exfoliating acids, monitor the skin's tolerance, and reduce the number of active products if dryness or redness appears.
- For very dry skin, it is preferable to follow the essence with a suitable moisturizer instead of relying on it alone to obtain the required hydration.
-
Improving the appearance of pigmentation and uneven skin tone takes time, and results vary depending on the skin type, the nature of the spots, and the routine used.
- The product is not a medical treatment for deep melasma, scars, or severe hyperpigmentation, and these cases may require specialized care.
- It helps improve the appearance of fine lines and elasticity, but it does not remove deep wrinkles or permanently rebuild the skin.
- If the skin is prone to medically diagnosed fungal acne or suffers from an active skin condition, it is preferable to consult a specialist when unsure about the suitability of fermented products.
- If redness, itching, burning, or a noticeable increase in irritation appears, stop use and wash the skin gently.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning, because daily protection is an essential step to help prevent the worsening of pigmentation and maintain a uniform skin tone appearance.
- Do not touch the opening of the container directly with the skin or with unclean fingers to maintain the cleanliness of the product.
- Store the container away from high heat and direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
- Close the container tightly after use, and review the printed list of ingredients on it when there is a known sensitivity to one of the ingredients.
