Why does the cream pill when I apply it?Updated 12 days ago

There may be several reasons why you experience that the day cream pills after application. Try following the tips below:

Apply the product to freshly cleansed skin. Preferably cleanse with Wash facial cleanser before application. In addition to daily cleansing, we recommend mild exfoliation with a cloth or facial brush 1–2 times a week. You apply Wash facial cleanser again after removing makeup, massaging the skin with circular motions for about 20 seconds. Rinse off with water.

Apply a slightly smaller amount of product. The skin has different needs depending on skin type, season and humidity level. When it’s cold outside, the skin needs more product than when it’s warmer.

Allow some time between applying serum and applying day cream, to ensure that the serum has fully absorbed into the skin.

Apply the day cream without serum underneath. Alternatively, you can apply serum only to the cheekbones or on areas where the skin tends to get extra dry.

If you have oily or young skin, Anti-pollution day cream may be better suited. It has a light consistency and is highly moisturizing.
