FAQ
Can I wear makeup over copper peptides?
Yes, once your serum, moisturiser and SPF have absorbed.
Why is my serum pilling?
Usually too much product or not waiting between layers. Use 3–4 drops and give each layer a minute.
Should I skip moisturiser under makeup?
If your skin is oily, an SPF moisturiser can cover both.
