Apply your serum to slightly damp skin after cleansing. The extra moisture on the surface helps the active ingredients absorb more quickly and work more effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does an anti-pollution serum protect my skin?A: Anti-pollution serums create a barrier on the skin's surface that helps shield against airborne particles, toxins and free radicals that can cause premature ageing and dullness. They are especially beneficial if you live in or commute through a busy city.

Q: Can I use this serum under moisturiser and SPF?A: Yes, apply it after cleansing and before your moisturiser and SPF as part of your morning routine. Layering it under SPF gives you a comprehensive shield against both UV and external damage.

This is a cosmetic product for external use only, and all results will be temporary; individual results may vary.
