How should I fit SUNGIT Rejuvenating Day Cream into my morning routine, and can I wear make-up over it?

Based on the product description, this cream is intended as a morning skincare step and works well under make-up, so it can be applied after cleansing and any lighter water-based serums, then followed by sunscreen if needed and foundation or other cosmetics. A typical order is: cleanse, apply toner or serum if you use one, let it absorb, then take a small amount of the cream and spread it over the face while avoiding the eye area unless your skin already tolerates the formula there. Because the base contains shea butter, olive-derived oil and grape seed oil, it has a richer, more mask-like feel than a light lotion, so a thin layer is usually enough; waiting a minute or two before applying foundation helps prevent pilling or uneven coverage.

• Glycerin and the xylitylglucoside complex draw water into the upper skin layers, so applying the cream to slightly damp skin after cleansing can support that hydration step.
• Niacinamide, vitamin E and ascorbyl palmitate are included for cosmetic appearance concerns such as uneven tone, dullness and external stress, not for treating skin conditions.
• The formula avoids parabens and added colorants, which may be relevant if you prefer a simpler preservative and colour profile in daily cosmetics.

If your skin is very reactive to fragrance or rich textures, patch test on a small area first, since the denser mineral-rich base with pelos can feel heavier than a basic day cream. In periods of stress, seasonal weather changes or when the face looks less smooth under make-up, this type of formula is described as a suitable option for drier or less elastic skin.
