Garden of Wisdom's Lift-Me Up Cream is a powerful blend of anti-aging actives and antioxidants. Enriched with scientifically proven amounts of Co-Q10, this cream addresses wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines while also protecting the cell membrane. Antioxidants fight off free radical scavengers and further protect skin from the inevitable aging process. A great choice for those who just need a little "lift me up."
Method of Application Apply a pea sized to a dime sized amount, depending on what your skin needs, after the water soluble phase of your routine. This should be the final phase of layering in your skin care routine, as it will help to hold moisture and nutrients in the skin.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Products and Ingredients
Finished products generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend shelf life. Shelf life is 9 - 12 months
Sample sizes do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (except our vitamin C serums - use within 90 days).
Please try to keep out of high humidity or heat if possible! Store out of direct light and in dark cabinet if possible also!
Exfoliating Acid products will last 1 year.
The only thing we don't suggest refrigerating is the mandelic or salicylic acid serums as those can crystallize in the refrigerator and not go back to their normal state even if you warm them up.
Additional Items Requiring Refrigeration
