Usage Tips from Max Beauty:
- Recommended for oily and combination skin that needs light hydration without excessive shine.
- If your cheeks are dry and your forehead and nose are oily, apply more to the dry areas and less to the T-zone.
- For very oily skin, use a very small amount and spread it well until fully absorbed.
- Can be used before makeup as it leaves a light and refreshed feel when well absorbed.
- If your skin is very dry or flaky, you may need a richer moisturizer than this gel.
- The product does not contain sunscreen, so sunscreen must be used in the morning afterward.
