FAQs
Can I use this with vitamin C?
Yes, many routines use both. If you’re new to actives, start on alternate days and monitor skin comfort.

How long until I see results?
Visible improvements in the look of tone can take a few weeks with daily use plus strict daytime SPF.
Can I use it twice a day?
Yes. Use AM and/or PM after cleansing and before moisturiser; always apply sunscreen in the morning.
Is it okay with exfoliating acids?
