How to use

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin once daily, preferably at night. Massage gently until fully absorbed. Follow with a moisturizer and, during daytime use, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect renewed skin.

Red does not mean poison. Preservatives that stop a product going off, UV filters and fragrance can land on yellow or red depending on their score.

Green does not mean right for you. Skin and allergies differ from person to person. Treat the color as a starting point.
