Use this cream in the morning after cleansing, while the skin is clean and slightly comfortable rather than fully dried out. Apply a small amount over the face and spread it evenly, focusing on areas that usually feel tight or rough. If you use a toner or hydrating serum, those would typically go before the cream; the cream then helps leave the skin feeling softer and more comfortable.
Because this is a day face cream, it is best placed before sunscreen, not instead of it. The product information describes it as a moisturizing cream for daytime hydration and makeup wear, but it does not state that it contains sun protection. After the cream has settled, apply your usual SPF as the final skincare step in the morning. Makeup can then be applied over sunscreen once the layers have had a moment to sit on the skin.
If you notice rolling or pilling under makeup, try using a little less cream, waiting longer between layers, or simplifying the number of products underneath. Dry skin often benefits from consistent gentle care, so pairing this with a mild cleanser can also help reduce the tight feeling that appears immediately after washing.
