How to restore your skin

After cleansing and treating, pat skin dry. Apply a generous coin-size amount of five-to-nine to face and neck, gently massaging in upward motions. The velvety balm melts into skin instantly.
Smooth & sink
Let the balm sink in for 1-2 minutes. The squalane works to soften and deeply hydrate while peptides begin their overnight repair. No greasy residue—just a comforting, nourished feeling.
Layer & relax
For extra barrier support, apply eye cream or lip balm over five-to-nine. The balm creates the perfect base for any additional treatments. Smooth across your pillow and settle in.
