Directions: Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. Leave on for 10 minutes. Thoroughly remove with water. 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. Warning: For external use only. When using this product do not get into eyes. Skin irritation and dryness is more likely to occur if you use another topical acne medication at the same time. If irritation occurs, only use one topical acne medication at a time. Apply only to areas with acne. Do not use on broken skin or large areas of the skin. Stop use and ask a doctor if excessive skin irritation develops or increases. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.
