How to use
On dry skin, massage a dime-sized amount in circular motions for 30–60 seconds, including over closed eyes and lips to dissolve makeup—no tugging. Add lukewarm water to emulsify into a milky lather, continue massaging, then rinse until water runs clear. If double cleansing, follow with Micellar Cleansing Water with Vitamin C. As a mask, apply an even layer to clean, dry skin for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Use 2–3 times per week.
