How to Apply for Maximum Presence

A sustained-delivery formula only performs as designed when it is applied correctly. Technique is part of the formulation story, not a footnote.

Apply to damp skin

Damp skin helps the occlusive film integrate evenly rather than sitting on top of fully dry surface cells.

Warm before applying

Warm Terra Radiance Crème™ or Recovery Masque™ between fingertips before pressing into skin — this softens the lipid vehicle for smoother, more even distribution.

Press, don’t rub

Pressing helps the film settle into place; rubbing can disturb it before it has set.

Let each step set

A brief pause between the Essence step and the moisturizer step lets each layer begin forming its film before the next is added.

Application guidance reflects general formulation-science principles for occlusive/sustained-release vehicles and is not a guarantee of individual results.
