Suggested Usage:
-After cleansing, apply a dot, textured-side down, on your dark spot. Don’t be scared by
the word "microneedle"—they’re as gentle as they are effective.
-Gently press into the skin for five to ten seconds.
-Wear overnight or for at least six hours for best results.
-Use two times per week for at least three to four consecutive weeks.
-Results may vary based on the type of dark spot you`re targeting (sunspot, post-breakout
discoloration, age spot, etc.).
-See a little residue after removing? That’s OK, it’s just the sodium hyaluronate and can easily
be removed with a quick rinse, a soft cloth, or cotton round.

Hold up! Time for a skin barrier check:
-If you`re experiencing any areas of excessive dryness, increased sensitivity, or open skin, or if you went a little heavy handed with peels, chemical exfoliation, or actives, give your skin a little resting time before using Peace Out’s dots or patches.

Newer to microneedling technology, brightening agents, or just have super sensitive skin?
-Patch test first.
-While uncommon, there`s a chance you may experience some slight redness or irritation from this type of delivery system, which is intended to maximize ingredient absorption and results. But don`t worry. It should dissipate within 24 to 36 hours of removal (standard for microneedling).
-Always ensure skin is clean and fully dry before application.
-If redness lasts longer than one to two days, please discontinue use.
