Skin Recovery Duo

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser. (Double cleanse in the evening if you're wearing makeup or sunscreen.) Pat your skin dry or leave it slightly damp.
2. Apply the Azelaic Acid Serum first (treatment step)
   • Start with 1–2 drops (gradually increase to 3–5 drops as your skin tolerates).
   • Gently pat or press it evenly over your face (and neck if desired), focusing on areas with redness, irritation, or breakouts.
   • Let it absorb for 30–60 seconds.
3. Follow with the 3 Ceramide Barrier Serum (recovery & protection step)
   • Apply 2–3 drops (or a pea-sized amount).
   • Pat or smooth it all over the face to lock in moisture, strengthen the skin barrier, and soothe any remaining sensitivity.
   • This layer helps prevent dryness or irritation from the Azelaic Acid while boosting hydration.
4. Finish with moisturizer (optional but recommended, especially at night or if your skin feels dry).
5. Morning only: Always end with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) as the final step.

Frequency & Tips for Sensitive Skin

• Start slow: Use the duo 1–2 times a week (preferably in the evening) to allow your skin to adjust to the Azelaic Acid.
• Gradually build up to once daily, then twice daily (morning + evening) once your skin feels comfortable.
• The Azelaic Acid Serum calms redness and helps treat breakouts, while the 3 Ceramide Barrier Serum immediately supports and repairs the skin barrier — making this duo very gentle and suitable for daily use after the introduction phase.
• Patch test first on your inner arm or jawline for 24 hours.
• If you feel any mild tingling or dryness at the beginning, reduce frequency or apply the Ceramide Serum first as a buffer before the Azelaic.
• This duo pairs beautifully with basic, soothing routines and works well for sensitive, reactive, or breakout-prone skin.

Extra Tips

• Consistent use helps calm redness, reduce breakouts, and rebuild a stronger, more resilient skin barrier.
• Avoid layering with strong exfoliants (like high-strength AHAs, BHAs, or retinol) on the same day until your skin is very tolerant.
• If irritation occurs, pause the Azelaic Acid and focus on the Ceramide Barrier Serum + gentle hydration for a few days.
