Use in the evening.  For this delicate area, use your ring finger since it naturally has the lightest touch. You don’t want to put too much pressure on the skin. To apply, start at the inner corner underneath your eye, using small dots in a semi-circle up to your brow bone until you reach the area between your eyes. Gently tap in that semi-circle pattern to stimulate circulation until the product is fully absorbed. Be sure not to pull or stretch the skin while doing this.

Caution:
Always use clean hands when working with a product, as you may contaminate the eye cream and allow dangerous bacteria or fungi to grow. If you experience any discomfort, stop use immediately. If you want to use it daily, use a good sunblock; some ingredients are photo sensitive.
