A Simple Patch Test Checklist
A careful first-use routine starts with the product label and a small-area test.
A patch test can help you notice a skin response before adding a new product to your routine. Follow the product label first, since instructions can differ between formulas.
Choose a small area
Apply the product to a small area as directed on its label. Keep it away from the eyes and other areas the label says to avoid.
Observe your skin
Pay attention to how the area feels during and after the test. If irritation or discomfort occurs, rinse as directed and discontinue use.
Ask when unsure
If you have a known sensitivity, a skin condition, or questions about ingredients, ask a qualified healthcare professional before trying the product.
