Usage tips from Max Beauty:
- It is recommended to start gradually, as 20% Niacinamide concentration can be strong for skin unaccustomed to active ingredients.
- Use only two or three drops; a larger amount will not speed up results and may increase the chance of irritation or pilling.
- It is preferable to use it in the evening initially due to its Retinol content, with consistent use of sunscreen in the morning.
- Do not use it on the same night with 24% pure Vitamin C serum, additional Retinol, or strong AHA and BHA exfoliants when starting use.
- For dry or sensitive skin, a light moisturizer can be applied before or after the serum to reduce feelings of dryness.
- For oily skin, use a light, non-heavy moisturizer after the serum.
- Test the product on a small area for 24 hours before applying it to the entire face.
- Do not apply to broken skin, open pimples, or severely red areas.
- Discontinue use if severe burning, swelling, or persistent redness occurs.
