Is it safe to use this product for a bit over the 12 months once it's been opened? Or should I throw it out?
Hello Mayra if you see a slight variation in color, odor and texture- that can be normal. However, if you see gross changes in color, odor or the product separates, its time to discard the product after the expiration date.
I received a bottle of this as a gift from a friend because I loved my first bottle so much. This bottle is a little different though. The smell is really strong and over powering not like what I remember the other one to be. It is very dark in color I feel like the first one I had was much lighter and thinner. This one also is more sticky. Is it possible it is going bad? It says it doesn’t expire until 2024 but it just seems off.
We would recommend finding out where your gift was purchased. If it was purchased through an unauthorized reseller this could be why your item does not seem correct. We recommend only purchasing from authorized resellers as your item could be a diverted product and do not recommend to continue use if purchased from an unauthorized seller.
Can this be used with the max serum and ageless hyaluronic filler? If so, what order would I apply?
We would recommend alternating between the Max Stem Cell Serum & the Iluma Intense Brightening Serum for morning & evening. We would recommend using this in the morning and then applying the Ageless Total Hyaluronic Filler once the serum has dried down on to the skin. Then in the evening alternating to the Max Stem Cell Serum & applying the Ageless Total Hyaluronic Filler following the serum for best results.
