Here\u2019s how to use it step-by-step.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2094\">Step 1: Cleanser<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2095\" data-end=\"2167\">Start with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser suitable for your skin type.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2199\">Step 2: Toner (Optional)<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2276\">Use a hydrating or pH-balancing toner to prep the skin for serum absorption.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2278\" data-end=\"2309\">Step 3: Niacinamide Serum<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2310\" data-end=\"2462\">Apply 2\u20133 drops of a niacinamide serum to your face and gently pat it in.
