cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication
cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times a day
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 Acne Treatment Cream to dry, then follow directions in sunscreen labeling . If sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and ask a doctor
