Purpose

Acne Medication

For the treatment of acne.

To use as a cleanser:

Wet face. Squeeze into hands and gently massage all over the face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

To use as a mask:

Do not exceed 2 to 3 times per week. Squeeze into hands. Smooth an even layer over skin. Allow to dry up to 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

  • 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, apply sunscreen after using this product. If irritation or sensitivity develops, stop use of both products and ask a doctor.
