What Industry Experts Say
Batch traceability is what lets us pull records for any production lot within minutes. Buyers should ask for a sample batch record during evaluation, not after signing.

Common Questions From OEM Buyers
When can I use retinol or vitamin C?
Introduce active ingredients on day two, one product at a time. Start with lower concentrations to test tolerance.
What should I put on my skin after?
Gentle cleansing, a ceramide moisturizer, and SPF 50 are enough for the first 24 hours. Active serums can start on day two.
Can I exercise after treatment?
Skip heavy exercise for 48 hours. Sweating in the first two days can irritate the treated area.
Is peeling normal after microneedling?
Mild flaking in week one is possible and usually resolves on its own. Do not pick or peel the skin manually.
How should I cleanse the skin?
Use lukewarm water and a fragrance free cleanser. Avoid scrubbing and hot water for the first 48 hours.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
Wait at least 24 hours. Early makeup can clog fresh microchannels and increase irritation.
