The best way to do this is to tip the bottle upside down and shake vigorously for about 30 times. Then, use the dropper to draw up the serum, which should be slightly cloudy. It is recommended that the balancing balm be used before the serum to provide moisture and also help activate the dry ingredients in the serum.

Use 3-5 drops and apply to your face and neck. You may find you need less or more depending on the dryness of your skin or if applying before make-up (in this instance 1-2 drops may be enough, or you may wish to blot off some of the oil prior to applying makeup).  Sometimes, depending on your skin, you may not have to use it daily.  Experiment to find the level that suits your skin and this may change with the season as well.
