Usage & Packaging

Facial serums do nicely in Glass Dropper Bottles. We used a Flint Dropper Bottle for this recipe, but you can protect the serum from light exposure by packaging it in a Cobalt or Amber Dropper Bottle instead.

To use, simply apply a few drops to your skin after cleansing, and gently massage onto your face in a slow, circular motion.
