To Maximize Your Glow
A little warm and a little pink at first. Sun-kissed, anyone? Then that clean, tight, just-back-from-the-facialist feeling. No acids, no fragrance. Gentle on your skin.
- Hydrate through the day and have water with every meal.
- Before use, cleanse the face with clean hands and pat dry.
- Open a fresh head and a fresh vial.
- Press, don't drag, with light overlapping presses. An hour of pink after use is normal.
- Pat the serum into the skin. Don't use any other acids, creams, etc.
- Sleep on it and see the glow in the morning light.

Why Once A Week?
"Prompt recovery of barrier function (within 72 hours) was observed after microneedle treatment." Han et al., Dermatologic Surgery, 2012 · PubMed 22882208
A facial-skin study of 0.15 mm and 0.25 mm needles measured the skin's surface barrier after treatment and found it recovers within 72 hours. That's the whole logic of the ritual: sealed serum applied right then, and two days off actives while your skin does its thing. You can start with Sunrise Glow every two weeks if you have sensitive skin and move to weekly once your skin is happy. We don't recommend more than once every seven days.
