Meet the Anti-Aging Cream

- Tailored to your unique needs and goals for your skin
How it works
- Apply once daily (at night!) after cleansing and before or after moisturizing, depending on your skin’s sensitivity

- Start seeing improvement in just weeks, with full results after about 3 months
Directions
Press out a precisely dosed amount of cream and spread it over your face at night as directed by your provider. Because this is a prescription-strength cream, the skin has to grow accustomed to it. Typically, it's suggested to use the prescribed dose of cream every 2nd or 3rd night to build tolerance and increase as your provider recommends. Wash your face before applying this cream, and moisturize after applying it.
