How to Use Luminactive Face Serum for Glowing Skin

Quick answer

Apply Luminactive serum to clean, dry skin after cleansing and before moisturizer. Use 2–3 drops, pat gently, and start with every other night to let your skin adjust to retinol.

Step-by-step application guide

1. Start with a clean, dry face: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it completely dry. Wait 1–2 minutes to ensure no moisture remains. Applying serum to damp skin can increase absorption too fast and cause stinging. A common mistake: applying serum right after washing while skin is still wet. Always dry first.
2. Dispense the right amount: Pump 2–3 drops of Luminactive serum onto your fingertips. A little goes a long way. More product does not mean faster results and can lead to irritation.
3. Gently press, don't rub: Use your ring fingers to pat the serum onto your face and neck in upward motions. Avoid pulling or tugging the skin. Focus on areas with visible pores or uneven tone. Rubbing can cause friction and reduce the serum's effectiveness. Patting helps absorption.
4. Layer with moisturizer: Wait 30 seconds for the serum to absorb, then apply a moisturizer. This seals in the active ingredients and provides a barrier to reduce potential dryness from retinol. Skipping moisturizer is a common misstep that can lead to flaking.
5. Start slow and build up: Use the serum every other night for the first two weeks. If your skin tolerates it well, you can increase to nightly use. Always wear SPF during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity. Using retinol daily from the start often causes redness and peeling. Gradual introduction is key.
