cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication
cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily
because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
if going outside use a sunscreen. Allow CLEARASIL ULTRA ® Tinted Rapid Action Treatment Cream to dry, then follow directions in sunscreen labeling. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and ask a doctor.
