How To Use Essential-C Firming Radiance Day Cream

1. AM: Cleanse and pat skin dry.
2. Apply serum if used, then smooth a pea-to-nickel-sized amount of cream over face, neck and chest.
3. Allow to absorb; follow with broad-spectrum SPF as the last step of your morning routine.

Pro Tip (from estheticians): For extra radiance, press (don’t rub) the cream into areas that look dull so light reflects more evenly.
