How to use & order

- Layer 1–2 times if extra hydration is needed; follow with serum and moisturizer.

Conflicts & layering tips

Evidence & notes
- PDRN and niacinamide are cosmetic ingredients; smoothing and brightening claims are cosmetic in nature.
- Niacinamide supports barrier resilience and even-looking tone with consistent use.
- Humectants (panthenol, hyaluronic acid) draw water; sealing with moisturizer helps retain hydration.
Safety
- For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
- Avoid applying on broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
- Patch test along the jawline before first full use.
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
