After using cleanser and toner, apply a thin layer to the entire blemish-prone area. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes a day at first and increase wearing time gradually until medication can be tolerated all night. Slight irritation and dryness are normal and temporary. Unfortunately, moisturizers, lotions, and creams usually interfere with benzoyl peroxide. Hydrabalance Hydrating Gel is a great way to soothe dry skin without sabotaging your Acne Med. If going outside, use a sunscreen. Allow the Acne Med to dry, then follow the direction in the sunscreen labeling.
If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of the product and contact your Face Reality Acne Specialist immediately.
