How should I apply Acne formula as part of my nighttime skin routine?
Short answer
Apply Acne formula to clean, dry skin, following your prescribing physician’s instructions and pharmacy label. Typical directions call for a thin layer at night. Keep it away from your eyes, lips, and broken skin. Use a gentle cleanser, and ask your physician how to fit moisturizer into your routine.
Follow your prescribing physician’s directions and the pharmacy label for where to apply Acne formula and how much to use. Typical directions are a thin layer at night. Gently wash the treatment area, pat it dry, and let your skin dry fully before applying. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh cleansing brushes.
Keep the gel away from your eyes, mouth, corners of your nose, and other sensitive areas. Do not apply it to sunburned, broken, or irritated skin unless your physician specifically directs you to. Wash your hands after use. Ask whether to apply it across the acne-prone area rather than only on individual spots.
A simple routine is usually easier to tolerate than several active products at once. Ask your physician when to use moisturizer and whether to pause other acne products. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day, and limit sun exposure. If applying the gel causes strong burning or marked irritation, contact your prescribing team before the next application.
