From the brand
What the brand says about this product. Our ingredient analysis follows below.
The brand recommends it for
- Dry skin

- Normal skin

- Dark spots & pigmentation

How to use
We recommend using Liquid Gold with Vitamin C on alternating evenings up to 3 times per week. After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad and sweep over face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eyes and delicate areas. Alternatively, dispense product into palms and press directly over the skin. Leave product to work on its own - layering with other products will buffer the efficacy of the treatment. You can continue to use your Vitamin C Serum in the morning alongside this treatment for amplified results.
Caution
If you experience any burning or stinging, stop use and contact hello@alpha-h.com for personalised advice.
