Instructions (How to Use)
Patch test first: Apply a tiny amount to the inner forearm and observe for 24–48 hours. If irritation occurs, discontinue.
When to apply: Best used in the evening on clean, slightly damp skin to lock in hydration. Morning use is fine—just finish with sunscreen.
Layering order: Apply after water-based serums. You can seal with a light moisturizer if your skin is very dry.
Frequency: Start 3–4 nights per week, then adjust to nightly if skin tolerates well.
Skin type tweaks:
Very dry/mature: Follow with a pea-sized moisturizer to lock everything in.
Oily/combination: Use 1–2 drops and limit to nights; consider skipping the optional lavender and keeping the blend extra-light.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dark place. Use within 3–4 months for best freshness.
Who should avoid it: Those sensitive to clove/eugenol, with active dermatitis, or broken skin. If pregnant or nursing, consult a professional before use.
