Cleanse skin thoroughly and tone before applying. Cover the affected area with a thin layer and smooth evenly over face one to three times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two to 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. For best results, use with other DHC Salicylic Acne products.
