Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends continuing to use it morning and evening to get the best care for persistent spots and signs of aging.
• Apply it after cleansing and before moisturizing cream so the product touches the skin directly.
• Do not concentrate the product on one spot only; spread it over the area affected by uneven tone to help achieve a more even-looking appearance.
• Do not forget the neck, upper chest, and hands if these areas suffer from sun spots or uneven tone.
• If the skin is dry, follow with a moisturizer that supports the skin barrier to help enhance comfort and lock in moisture.
• If your skin is sensitive, start with once daily, then move to morning and evening use according to tolerance.
• Because it contains LHA, avoid overusing multiple strong exfoliants in the same routine if dryness or stinging appears.
• If you use retinol or strong acids, you can distribute the products across different times or days if your skin is easily irritated.
• Sun protection is an essential step; use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen in the morning, especially when treating spots and sun spots.
• On the hands, reapply sunscreen during long exposure periods to help limit the return of discoloration.
• If clear irritation appears, temporarily reduce the frequency of use and focus on hydration and supporting the skin barrier.
