Troubleshooting

Product feels sticky or leaves a residue.

Ensure you are applying to clean skin and using an appropriate amount. Allow adequate time for the serum to absorb before applying makeup. If the issue persists, try applying a slightly smaller amount.

Skin appears slightly shiny after application.

This product is designed for a natural finish. If you prefer a matte look, allow it to fully absorb and consider using a mattifying primer before makeup.

Experiencing mild irritation.

Although fragrance-free, discontinue use if irritation persists. Consult the ingredients list for any known sensitivities. Ensure you are not layering too many active ingredients simultaneously.
