Apply a full dropper to clean skin, and leave on for 30 minutes. Dampen the French Farmacie muslin cloth and gently polish it in circular motions until the cloth comes away clean, revealing brighter, smoother skin. Use 1-3 times a week on alternate days as an exfoliating treatment mask.
FOUNDER TIPS: Use it as a leave-on overnight treatment as the last step in your skincare routine a few times a week for incredible, luminous results. Try it as an exfoliating lip treatment for très smooth lips.
*If you use a retinoid or retinol, try using Élixir Exfoliant on alternating days. Research suggests that combining a retinoid/retinol and an AHA exfoliant can be an effective combination for hyperpigmentation. However, experts generally advise not using the two ingredients at the same time, since this can lead to dryness and irritation. Instead, you might try alternating them on different days to help your skin build tolerance.
Note: As with any product or cloth, it's important to be gentle, as over-scrubbing can irritate and disrupt the skin barrier layer. Wash the muslin cloth in between uses as dirty washcloths could spread bacteria back into your skin.
