I've finally jumped on the bandwagon and purchases quite a few of the products. I am also becoming an avid reader of the threads here.

On the question of how to apply small amounts of produt, I'm not sure I have a real answer.

For example, some of the posts suggest using "a few drops" of this or that serum. However, when apply such a small amount over as much surface area as your entire face, how is this possible?

And by the time you've covered you're face with such a small amount - I know having tried this - there appear to be no produt remaining to spread. Or another thought - aren't your finger tips simply going to soak up the product?

So whether we are talking Skin Signals, Hair Signal, or CP Serum (bought them all) it would seem that to get an effective spread of the product you really have to be working with a reasonable volume to ensure appropriate distribution.

Hope this made sense? Love to hear some feedback.

I know exactly what you mean. The suggested two, three and four drops of the various products has never seeemed enough to me. After the first couple of seconds, I felt like I wasn't spreading ANYTHING across my face, you know?

I use about a half-teaspoon of the various products when I apply them. That's probably too much but I'm afraid to use less because I have this feeling that a smaller amount won't do anything.

Thanks John, you are confirming what I thought myself.

The technique I have started to use is to take the squeeze bottle and squeeze out a drop in an area, spread until I think I've exhausted the amount, and move over to other patch.

By the time I'm finished, I am sure I've used a dozen or so drops. I've had no adverse affects to this amount for either Skin Signals or CP Serum so far, so I'm hoping that means I'm not overdoing the application.

You can dilute the serums with water to help spreading.

I've always just used as much as needed to feel that I have spread the product without totally wetting my face. I use one drop for each eye (it covers both upper and lower lids). Then one drop on my forehead. Two drops for each side of my face. Then, to kill two birds with one stone, dot maybe four drops on the back of each hand and rub it on my neck. That way I get my neck and hands done at the same time. My CP Serum has lasted nearly five months now and I'm ready to order the next stronger version. GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY! That's what keeps me reordering from here.

My pump doesn't work on Two Time Tightening so I started dipping a q-tip in and this works quite well. I am able to spread my entire face and neck b/c the cotton tip absorbs a lot of the serum. You could also try this with other items.

I use Super-GHK cream, it's nice and rich so even if you use a tiny amount it's easy to spread. I use a half-pump for my entire face and neck, on top of squalane. The squalane makes it easier to spread also. If you are starting out with CP's I suggest you apply them over a BHO.
