How to use and what to expect

Apply as the last step of your daytime skincare routine, after serums. A small amount blends smoothly into the skin, leaving a lightweight, hydrated base with a gentle glow. It doubles as a makeup-ready base, helping makeup glide on more evenly and cling to a moisturized surface.

• After cleansing and serum steps, apply a pea-to-dime-sized amount to face and neck.
• Blend evenly with fingertips, allowing a moment for the finish to appear before applying makeup.
• Reapply as needed during extended sun exposure or outdoor activities for continued protection.

Real-life uses and outcomes you might notice

In everyday lighting, you may see a natural, dewy radiance that doesn’t look greasy. The formula leverages Kiwi extract and vitamins to support a fresh-looking complexion, while the niacinamide and oils keep the surface comfortable and hydrated through the day. This makes it suitable for under makeup or worn alone for a subtle, healthy glow.
