Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy
The Vitamin C 23 Serum from COSRX is an ultra-potent antixoidant ampoule. It combines a 23% concentration of pure vitamin C with Tocotrienol. Also known as Super Vitamin E, Tocotrienol is a powerful skin conditioner proven to mitigate the effects of sun damage (including hyperpigmentation). In addition, there's niacinamide and licorice root for additional brightening benefits, as well as adenosine to promote collagen synthesis. We love that it's fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. The downside is that because there's no added perfume, it naturally smells...kinda weird. But don't worry, it doesn't linger after application!

Use this serum to fades acne scars and unify a dull, uneven skin tone. It has an array of moisturizing ingredients including nourishing oils, making it particularly good on dry skin.
After opening, replace cap with provided dropper. Apply two to three drops onto clean skin after cleansing and toning, avoiding the eye contour area. Note this serum is on the stronger side, so if your skin is very sensitive, work on building and repairing your skin barrier first before incorporating active ingredients. That way, you'll get the most of them! Alternatively, introduce it gradually into your skincare routine to build up your skin's tolerance. Start off with once or twice a week, increasing frequency if your skin permits..

Stop using the product immediately and consult a dermatologist when redness, swelling, or other skin irritations occur, and consult a physician. Avoid applying the product on open wounds or skin inflammation. Keep away from direct sunlight and out of reach of infants and children.
