Tips for your skin

  • Mild weather is forgiving, but UV is not. Wear sunscreen every day even when it is cloudy.
  • We kept Lactic Acid and Peptides on separate nights on purpose: use with caution when layered.
  • Patch test every new product on your jawline for 2–3 nights before using it on your whole face.
  • Budget tip: Indian D2C brands sell single-active serums for ₹300–₹700 that match premium formulas. Pay for sunscreen first.
