Directions:
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to apply serum treatment on your face:
1. Prep your skin. Make sure to cleanse your face with YVÒ SKIN GLÒ’s Cleansers (May double cleanse with VANISHING CLEANSING OIL + Cleanser)
2. Dispense 2-3 drops of ULTRA BRIGHTENING SERUM onto your palm or fingertips.
3. Using your fingertips, gently massage the serum onto your face in an upward and outward motion, starting from the center of your face. Be sure to cover all areas, including your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. You may focus on areas that need more attention such as those with uneven discoloration, darker tone, melasma, etc.
4. Let the serum absorb fully into your skin BEFORE applying any additional products, such as ILLUMINATING LUXURY EYE CREAM, moisturizer and sunscreen. (My trick here is to use a portable fan to help hasten absorption of product).
5. Follow up: Depending on your skincare routine, you may want to layer additional products or follow up with preferred moisturizer to help lock in the serum's benefits. Don’t forget to apply YVÒ PROTECT, Broad Spectrum SPF 46 sunscreen as the final step of your morning regimen.
6. For optimal results, use the serum consistently!

How To Patch Test
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO PATCH TEST. HOW TO PATCH TEST:
As with any active product, we strongly recommend patch testing. Patch test ULTRA BRIGHTENING SERUM before applying it full face by following these instructions:
1. Test the product three times a day for three days (3 x 3 Days) before applying to face.
2. Apply a small amount of the product on your neck or your jaw line using the same area each time you test.
3. Watch for any untoward signs of irritation, redness, dryness, or swelling. If this occurs, do not use the product and contact YVÒ SKIN GLÒ.
4. If testing multiple products, apply each product on a separate area for the first day. If signs of irritation is not observed, then patch test by layering the products in the same area as originally applied. Watch for any untoward signs of irritation, redness, dryness, or swelling. If this occurs, do not use the product and contact YVÒ SKIN GLÒ.
WARNING: Not for children. For external use only. Seek medical attention immediately if ingested or if you experience any irritation or negative reaction.
Use only as directed and after patch-testing, as detailed in the “Directions” instructions above. If patch-testing results in any sensitivities or untoward reactions, immediately discontinue use and contact YVÒ SKIN GLÒ.
If you experience burning, stinging, itching and redness, at any time, even after continued use, immediately discontinue use, seek medical attention, and contact YVÒ SKIN GLÒ.
You may also consider consulting your doctor for further advice on potential ingredient sensitivities or possible interactions with other non YVÒ SKIN GLÒ products.
Some Tips To Keep In Mind:
Ideal for morning treatment, if you plan on also applying AGE DEFIANCE SERUM (which is best for evening regimen), so that you can alternate your serum treatments. However, ULTRA BRIGHTENING SERUM may be used both day and night for more potent and faster results!
