How should I use it in my evening routine, and how much do I need?

The cream is meant as the final evening step in a simple routine:

1. Cleanse the skin to remove makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup — a nourishing cream works better on genuinely clean skin.
2. Apply a toner or serum if you use one, since lighter, water-based products should go on before a cream.
3. Finish with the cream, spreading a small amount over the face in a thin, even layer.

Some practical points that apply to night creams of this type:

• A little goes a long way — start with a pea- to hazelnut-sized amount and add more only where the skin still feels tight, usually the cheeks.
• Applying to skin that is still slightly damp after cleansing or toning can help seal in moisture.
• Give the cream a few minutes to absorb before lying down, so less of it ends up on the pillow.
• The neck can be included if it also tends toward dryness.
• Avoid the immediate eye area, as face creams are generally not formulated for the thin skin of the eyelids.

Store the 40 ml pack closed, away from heat and direct sunlight, and take the product out with clean, dry fingers to keep it in good condition for its full period of use.
