1. Patch-test: Dab a drop behind the ear and wait 24 hours to ensure no sensitivity.

  2. Nightly ritual:

    • Cleanse your face with a mild wash and pat dry.

    • Warm 3–4 drops of the collagen oil between your palms.

    • Press and massage into face, neck, and décolletage using upward strokes for 1–2 minutes.

  3. Layer wisely: If you use active treatments (retinoids, exfoliating acids), apply them first, let them absorb, then seal with this oil.

  4. Storage: Keep the bottle in a cool, dark spot. Use within three months for best potency; vitamin E acts as a natural preservative.

  5. Sun-safety note: Lemon can increase photosensitivity. Reserve usage for nighttime and apply sunscreen each morning.
