• If the skin starts to feel dry or flaky, reduce use to once daily or every other day as needed.
• This product is mainly designed for deep cleansing of the skin and removing oils, impurities, and makeup residue, while heavy or waterproof makeup is preferably removed first with a suitable makeup remover.
• After cleansing, use a hydrating toner or serum, then a suitable moisturizer to help support the skin barrier.
• If you are using strong acne treatments, retinol, or other exfoliating acids, monitor the skin and avoid over-exfoliation.
• Avoid washing the face with very hot water, as it may increase the feeling of dryness and tightness.
