After toner, before essence
An emulsion is your hydration step that comes after toner has prepped your skin and before you apply essence or serum. Once your toner has fully absorbed, the emulsion helps the next products in your routine sink in more effectively. Its lighter texture compared to cream makes it ideal as a balancing middle step that harmonizes oil and moisture levels.
Morning and evening use
As a brightening functional cosmetic, consistent use morning and night is key to seeing results. In the morning, use it as your final skincare step before sunscreen. In the evening, apply it to give tired skin a brightening boost after a long day.
A 500-won coin amount for the entire face
Dispense an appropriate amount into your palm and dot it onto both cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. Gently spread from the center of your face outward, then press your palms over your skin to help it absorb. Extending application down to your neck and collarbone can help even out any tone difference between your face and neck.
Brightening routine pairing
If dull complexion is a concern, try layering this with a vitamin C serum. Follow the order: toner → emulsion → vitamin C serum → cream for brightening synergy. On days when your skin feels extra dry, follow up with a generous layer of moisturizing cream.
Sunscreen is essential
When using a brightening functional product, sun protection becomes even more important. Always finish your morning routine with thorough sunscreen application. After opening, store in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and discontinue use if you experience redness or irritation.
