## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this ok to put under eye area?**
A: Yes, you can use this under your eyes. It even supposed to help with fine wrinkles as it has a moisturizing effect and locks in moisture. Do try though first on a small patch to avoid irritation.

**Q: Can I use this for my under eye scars??**
A: I use once a week under my eyes as I have sensitive under eyes. I don’t know what type of scar you have. I have a scar on my neck (as I had thyroid surgery) and I use on it. But I would say once and see how you feel. Hope that helps.

**Q: At what point do you use this product in your routine, eg only once a week at night etc?**
A: Apply once per day, ideally in the PM. Can be diluted with other treatments to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician. (Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.)

**Q: Will this help with hyperpigmentation/dark acne marks?**
A: Hi this helps remove your dead skin cells and should be used with other serums - but c helps growth & repair and will reduce discolouration but not eradicate it ( quite sure for the gold standard removal and renew its lazer treatment) .
