How to use

Apply generously on clean facial skin day and night, or as needed. Recommended for use during flare-ups or post-procedure recovery.

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.
