Apply one to two pumps over clean skin, morning and evening or as tolerated, and let it absorb before moisturizer. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every morning — sun exposure is what makes discoloration return, so consistent protection is part of the routine, not an extra. Keep the serum away from the immediate eye area; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Introduce one new product at a time, patch test along the jawline or on the inner forearm first, and discontinue if signs of irritation or rash appear. Close the pump after use, store away from direct sunlight and heat, and keep out of reach of children. Read the ingredient list before first use if you have known sensitivities.
