How to Use The Sticks for Targeted Skincare Application

Quick answer

Use The Sticks by twisting the base to expose a thin layer of serum, then glide directly onto clean, dry skin for precise spot treatment or targeted areas. No need for cotton pads or fingers—just direct, mess-free application.

Step-by-step: How to apply The Sticks

1. Step 1: Cleanse and dry your face: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. The stick works best on clean, dry skin—moisture on the surface can dilute the serum and reduce its effectiveness. Don't apply to damp skin; wait until your face is completely dry.
2. Step 2: Twist the base to expose the serum: Turn the bottom of the stick clockwise until a thin layer of serum appears at the tip. You only need about 1-2 mm—more product won't increase results and may cause the stick to break or apply unevenly. Twist just enough to see a thin layer; over-twisting can waste product.
3. Step 3: Glide directly onto the target area: Hold the stick like a pen and gently swipe it over the spot, blemish, or area you want to treat. Use light pressure—the serum transfers easily without rubbing. For larger areas like the forehead or cheeks, use short strokes rather than dragging the stick across your whole face. Don't press hard or rub; a light glide is enough to deposit the serum.
4. Step 4: Let the serum absorb before layering: Wait 30-60 seconds for the serum to sink in. If you're using multiple sticks (e.g., one for acne spots and one for texture), apply them one at a time, letting each layer dry before the next. This prevents pilling and ensures each active ingredient has time to work. Rushing to the next step can mix the serums and reduce their individual benefits.
5. Step 5: Follow with moisturizer (if needed): If your skin feels dry or you're using the stick as a spot treatment under makeup, apply a light moisturizer after the serum has dried. For oily or combination skin, you can skip this step—the stick formula is designed to be lightweight and non-greasy. Only add moisturizer if your skin needs it; the stick alone may be enough.
6. Step 6: Clean the stick tip and cap it: After each use, wipe the exposed serum tip with a clean tissue or alcohol-free wipe to remove any residue. Then twist the base to retract the serum and snap the cap on tightly. This keeps the formula fresh and prevents bacteria from growing on the applicator. Skipping the wipe-down can lead to product buildup and contamination.
