Use this cream in the evening, after cleansing your face and décolleté. Take a small amount — about a pea-sized portion for the face and a little more if you are also covering the décolleté — and warm it briefly between your fingertips. Press or gently massage it into the skin, moving upward and outward. Avoid the eye area unless the brand states otherwise.
Because this is a night cream, the richer texture is meant to stay on the skin longer, so apply it as the last step of your evening routine and let it absorb before going to bed. You do not need to rinse it off. In the morning, cleanse as usual and apply a separate sunscreen with SPF. This matters because mature skin can be more reactive to sunlight, and the cream contains a vitamin A derivative (retinyl palmitate), which may increase light sensitivity.
If your skin is very sensitive, or if you already use other vitamin A products, introduce this cream thoughtfully. Start by using it every other night or a few times a week, and watch how your skin responds. If you notice persistent redness, stinging, or irritation, reduce frequency and consult a specialist if needed. Keep the cream in a cool, dry place and close the jar tightly after use.
