How to use

Directions For Best Results: 1. Cleanse skin thoroughly. (Excess oil or other product residue may lessen the tightening effect.) 2. Try exfoliating as product may cling to flaky skin and cause white residue. 3. Pat skin dry. Do not use moisturizer, as this will reduce the tightening effect. 4. Shake tube. To control application, squeeze a dime-size amount on the back of your hand first. Using your fingertip or dry makeup brush, take product from back of hand as needed, starting with a tiny amount (less is more, to avoid white residue). Spread onto fine lines, deep wrinkles and pores. 5. If more product is needed, apply quickly while first layer is still wet. Layering onto dry product may result in white residue. 6. Stay expressionless for 3 to 7 minutes so product can properly set and dry. If needed, once dry, pat away any residue with a damp cotton swab. Tip: Apply foundation and other makeup as needed. Oil-based and/or powder formulas are ideal, as water-based makeup may weaken the tightening effect.

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.
