How To Use
Clean the skin thoroughly before applying. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. Because excessive drying 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 daily or every other day. If contact with eyes occurs, flush thoroughly with water.

Patch Test Before Use
Apply as directed to a small area once daily for three days to test for sensitivity. If irritation, hives, swelling of the eyes or mouth, blistering, or difficulty breathing develops, rinse off, stop use, and consult a doctor right away.

Warnings
For external use only. Skin irritation and dryness are more likely when another topical acne medication is used at the same time. If irritation occurs, use only one topical acne medication at a time. Keep out of reach of children.
