- Centella Asiatica Extract (Madecassoside 7%, Liquid): The recommended usage rate is 1-2%, with 2% being specifically recommended.
- Double Hyaluron Liquid: The usage rate varies depending on the desired hydration level. For normal or generally dehydrated skin, 3-5% is recommended. For dry skin, use 5-10%, and for very dry skin, 10-20%.
- Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin 1%): The product description does not specify a recommended topical usage rate for this ingredient in formulations.
