Apply this cream in the morning to clean skin on the face and neck. A practical routine would be: cleanse, apply any lightweight water-based serum if you use one, then apply this cream, and finish with sunscreen during the day. The product is described as a morning cream, but it does not replace sun protection; SPF is still the final daytime step.
Because the formula contains humectants such as glycerin, sorbitol and urea, it is useful to apply it while the skin is clean and not overly dry-feeling. These ingredients help draw water into the upper layers of the skin, while the oils in the formula reduce roughness and add a softer finish. For the neck, use gentle upward or outward strokes rather than pulling the skin downward.
If you wear makeup, give the cream a few minutes to settle before applying primer, foundation or sunscreen. If the layers feel heavy or start to pill, use less cream next time or simplify the products underneath. If your skin feels tight by midday, you may need a slightly more generous amount in the morning; if it looks shiny quickly, reduce the amount and focus application on drier areas such as the cheeks and neck.
