Apply an appropriate amount to cleansed (and toned) skin. Pat into the skin until fully absorbed. Use in the morning and at night.

Is this cream suitable for oily skin types? Yes, despite being a cream, the formula is non-greasy and absorbs quickly. The Heartleaf extract helps regulate sebum production, making it suitable for oily and combination skin types. How does this compare to the Heartleaf 80% Soothing Ampoule? The ampoule has a higher concentration of Heartleaf extract (80% vs 70%) and a lighter texture. The cream provides deeper hydration and creates a more protective barrier, making it ideal for drier skin or as a final step after the ampoule. Can this be used as a spot treatment for breakouts? Yes, this cream can be used all over the face or as a targeted treatment for inflamed areas. Apply a slightly thicker layer to breakouts or irritated patches as an overnight spot treatment. Is this cream heavy or occlusive? No, despite its calming and hydrating properties, the cream has a surprisingly lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that doesn't feel heavy or greasy on the skin. Can I use this during the day under sunscreen and makeup? Yes, the cream absorbs well and creates a smooth base for sunscreen and makeup. For very oily skin types, use a small amount in the morning to prevent potential shine throughout the day.
