How To Use It - The Anna Way
Apply 1–2 pumps after cleansing, toning, and treatment products. Follow with moisturizer if additional hydration is needed and finish with SPF during the day.
Use morning and evening. HydraBalance Gel can also be layered underneath stronger acne treatments to help reduce dryness and irritation.
Anna's Pro Tip:
If you're experiencing dryness from acne treatments, don't stop your routine; add hydration. HydraBalance is one of my favorite products because it gives acne-prone skin the water it needs without feeling heavy or causing congestion.
