FAQs
What skin types is this cream best suited for?
This cream is formulated for adults and is beneficial for troubled, irritated, dehydrated, and oily skin types. Its nourishing ingredients help balance and soothe various skin concerns.
How do I incorporate this cream into my routine?
Use it as the last step of your basic skincare routine. After cleansing, toning, and applying serums or treatments, gently massage an appropriate amount of cream into your face.
Can I use this cream if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, the cream contains soothing ingredients like Truecica™ and Panthenol specifically designed to calm sensitive and irritated skin. However, it's always recommended to do a patch test first.
Does this cream help with acne?
While not a direct acne treatment, it helps calm inflammation and irritation often associated with breakouts. Its hydrating properties can also prevent the skin from overproducing oil, which can contribute to acne.
What are the main active ingredients?
Key ingredients include Propolis Extract (70%), Panthenol (1%), Manuka Honey, Royal Jelly, Truecica™, Ceramide NP, and multiple forms of Hyaluronic Acid.
Is this product suitable for daytime or nighttime use?
It can be used for both. For daytime, use a moderate amount under sunscreen and makeup. For nighttime, a slightly more generous application can enhance overnight recovery and hydration.
What is the shelf life after opening?
Please refer to the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol on the product packaging. Typically, most skincare creams have a PAO of 6-12 months.
Troubleshooting
Cream feels too heavy or greasy.
Apply a smaller amount, or focus application on drier areas. Ensure your skin is properly cleansed and prepped with lighter serums or toners beforehand. For very oily skin, consider using it only at night or during drier seasons.
Skin experiences mild irritation upon first use.
Discontinue use temporarily. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin. If irritation persists, check the ingredient list for potential personal allergens. Reintroduce gradually, applying only a small amount.
Product texture seems different from previous purchases.
Natural ingredients can sometimes lead to slight variations in texture or color between batches. If the texture is significantly off or there's an unusual odor, contact customer support to verify the product's authenticity and quality.
