How to Use Repair and Release Cream

Step-by-Step Routine

1

Cleanse

Use a gentle, sulphate-free cleanser to remove makeup and impurities. Pat dry — don't rub.

2

Tone (optional)

If you use a toner, apply it now. Avoid astringent or alcohol-based toners.

3

Apply Repair & Release Cream

Dispense a pea-sized amount. Dot on forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck. Gently press and smooth upward — never drag.

4

Eye area

Use a tiny amount (rice grain) under the eyes and on crow's feet. The peptide complex is gentle enough for the orbital area.

5

SPF (AM only)

In the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+. Peptides don't cause photosensitivity, but sun damage undoes their work.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Applying too much — a pea-sized amount is sufficient for the full face and neck.
  • Skipping the neck and décolletage — these areas age just as fast.
  • Mixing with retinol in the same routine — alternate AM/PM instead.
  • Expecting overnight results — peptides need 4–8 weeks of consistent use.
