PERFECT FOR: When early signs of ageing and fine lines are on your mind, and you want a gentler slow-ageing care than retinol

AM: After cleansing, at the first skincare step, take an appropriate amount on your palms or a cotton pad and spread gently over your face and neck to absorb (suitable for both morning and evening).

PM: A subtly lavender-tinted, thin, milky essence that sinks in with no stickiness for a smooth, hydrated sheen. A subtle floral scent.
