- Use Skin Shine products together. Our line is designed to work in synergy, so always pair the actives with our own cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen. Other brands’ products may contain ingredients that reduce how well the actives work.
- Apply every product with your fingers. Do not use Q-tips, cotton balls or other applicators.
- Wash your hands after applying the actives.
- Stop using all active products (Ghost Mode Gel, Ghost Mode Cream, Not Today, Lit and Game Over) at least 5 days before a facial or laser treatment, and consult your provider.
- Active products can make skin more sensitive to the sun. Use sunscreen with at least SPF 40 every morning (The One Tinted on the face, The One Invisible on the body), reapply every 2 hours, and avoid direct sun exposure.
- Some tingling, redness or irritation can occur, especially when starting a new active.
- If this happens, stop using the active product (Ghost Mode Gel, Ghost Mode Cream, Not Today, Lit or Game Over) and follow the Skin Barrier Support routine until your skin has calmed down. Then reintroduce the active gradually.
