How should I apply Custom anti-aging cream at night?
Short answer
Apply Custom anti-aging cream as your prescribing physician and label direct. Typical use is a pea-sized amount on clean, fully dry skin at night. Keep it away from your eyes, lips, and nostril creases. Use a gentle moisturizer and daily sunscreen, and avoid applying it to irritated or sunburned skin.
Follow the application steps on your pharmacy label and any instructions from your prescribing physician. Typical directions are to gently wash your skin, pat it dry, and let it dry fully before applying a pea-sized amount at night. Spread a thin layer over the treatment area your physician identified. Wash your hands afterward.
Keep the cream away from your eyes, eyelids, lips, nostril creases, and other sensitive areas unless your physician gives specific instructions. Do not apply it to cuts, sunburn, or actively irritated skin. If it gets into your eyes, rinse well with water. Seek medical advice if irritation continues.
Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer rather than scrubs or harsh exfoliants. Ask your physician whether moisturizer should go before or after your cream. During the day, use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen and limit sun exposure. Avoid tanning beds. Ask before adding other active skin products, and do not change the amount or schedule on your own.
