Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends using the moisturizer on clean skin after toner and serum, so it becomes the step that locks in hydration and completes the skincare routine.
• If your skin is sensitive or you are using azelaic acid for the first time, start by using the moisturizer once daily, then increase to morning and evening according to skin comfort.
• For acne-prone skin, Beauty Time recommends applying a thin and even layer instead of using a large amount, as the texture is designed to provide hydration without weighing down the skin.
• If you are using an azelaic acid serum or toner within the same routine, introduce the products gradually and monitor the skin’s response to avoid overusing active ingredients.
• When combining it with retinol, AHA and BHA acids, or strong exfoliants, it is preferable to introduce each product gradually and not use several new active ingredients at the same time if the skin is easily irritated.
• For dry skin, an additional amount can be applied to areas more prone to dryness and tightness, or a richer cream can be used over it when needed.
• If the skin is very sensitive, Beauty Time recommends performing a patch test on a small area before applying the product to the entire face.
  
• In the morning routine, make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help protect the skin and maintain the results of the skincare routine.
• To get the best benefit, the Beauty Time team emphasizes the importance of consistent use and balanced hydration instead of adding many active ingredients all at once.
