How to Use:

1. Start by wetting your face with lukewarm water to help open pores and prepare the skin.
2. Dispense a small amount of St. Ives Gentle Smoothing Oatmeal Scrub & Mask onto your fingertips.
3. As a scrub: Gently massage onto damp skin in small circular motions, focusing on areas with dryness or rough texture. Avoid the eye area.
4. As a mask: Apply an even layer to clean, damp skin and leave on for 5–7 minutes. Then gently massage in circular motions and rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Use 3–4 times per week, depending on your skin’s tolerance. Follow with your preferred toner, serum, and moisturizer. Always apply sunscreen during the day to protect freshly exfoliated skin.

Suitable For:

• Skin Types: Normal, dry, and combination skin; suitable for slightly sensitive skin that tolerates gentle physical exfoliation. Not recommended for very sensitive or actively inflamed skin.
• Hair Types: Not applicable – this product is intended for facial skin care only.
• Concerns: Dry and flaky skin, rough or bumpy texture, dullness, uneven skin surface, and mild clogged pores.

Results:

• Immediate: Skin feels cleaner, softer, and smoother right after rinsing, with dry patches visibly reduced.
• With regular use over 2–4 weeks, skin texture appears more even, roughness and flakiness are minimized, and the complexion looks healthier and more radiant.

Side Effects:

• May cause mild temporary redness or sensitivity, especially on delicate or thin skin, due to physical exfoliation.
• Slight tingling or warmth can occur during use, particularly when used as a mask, and is usually transient.
• Rarely, allergic reactions or irritation may occur in individuals sensitive to any of the ingredients (e.g., fragrance, walnut shell powder, preservatives).
• If severe irritation, rash, burning, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist.

Precautions:

• Patch test recommended before first use, especially on sensitive or reactive skin.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• For external use only; do not ingest.
• Discontinue use if irritation, excessive dryness, or discomfort occurs.
• Because exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day and limit direct sun exposure.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the cap tightly closed after each use.
