How should I apply Dark spot cream at night?
Short answer
Apply Dark spot cream to clean, fully dry skin, only where your prescribing physician and label direct. Typical use is on dark spots at night. Keep it away from your eyes, lips, and broken skin. Use sunscreen each morning, and ask your physician how to fit moisturizer into your routine.
Follow your prescribing physician’s instructions and pharmacy label when applying Dark spot cream. Typical directions are to apply it to dark spots at night. Gently wash your skin, pat it dry, and let it dry fully before applying. Use only the amount your physician recommends.
Keep the cream away from your eyes, eyelids, lips, nostrils, and other sensitive areas. Do not apply it to cuts, sunburn, or irritated skin. Wash your hands after use unless your hands are the prescribed treatment area. If it gets into your eyes, rinse well with water. Seek care if pain or irritation continues.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher each morning. Reapply as directed, and use shade and protective clothing. Sun exposure can worsen dark spots and skin irritation. Ask your physician which gentle cleanser and moisturizer to use, and whether to pause other skin products. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved.
