3. Use the embossed side on areas that need exfoliation and purification such as the nose, forehead, and chin.
4. Use the soft side as a final step to soothe the skin and distribute the liquid evenly.
5. Do not rinse the face after use; allow the formula to absorb into the skin.

7. It is recommended to start using two to three times a week, then gradually increase the frequency according to skin tolerance.
8. Can be used once daily if the skin tolerates it; reduce use if signs of dryness or irritation appear.
