How to use

Use twice daily, morning and night. Dampen skin and apply a generous amount to the entire face (avoiding the eye area). Using your fingertips, gently massage into your skin for 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

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.
