Troubleshooting

Product feels heavy on the skin

Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer. If dry skin is particularly dehydrated, consider layering a light moisturizer underneath first. Allow adequate time for absorption before reapplication.

Skin feels tight or dry after application

This product is designed for dry skin, but if you experience tightness, it may indicate a need for more thorough pre-application hydration. Apply a richer moisturizer beforehand. Also, ensure you are applying enough, as too little may not provide adequate coverage.

White cast is visible

Gently massage the product into the skin until absorbed. For very fair skin, the cast should disappear quickly. For deeper skin tones, ensure an even application and blend thoroughly. Reapplication should also be blended well.
