How to use it
- No exfoliants, no vitamin C, no retinol for four weeks. Barrier repair is subtraction first.
- If a product stings on application for more than a minute, stop it, not the whole routine.
- Not a medical routine. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, your dermatologist's plan comes first and this fits around it.
