What should I do if I miss a nightly dose of Acne formula?

Your pharmacy label and prescribing physician’s instructions should guide what you do after a missed dose. If those instructions do not explain missed doses, ask the pharmacist who dispensed your Acne formula. If it is almost time for the next scheduled application, skip the missed dose and return to your usual schedule.

Do not double the amount, add an extra application, or move to more frequent use to catch up. Using more than prescribed can increase dryness, peeling, and irritation. Because this is a nightly gel, do not assume you should add a morning application after forgetting it at bedtime.

If you miss several applications, contact your prescribing team about restarting, especially if you stopped because your skin was irritated. They can tell you whether your original schedule still fits your needs. A bedtime reminder may help you keep track. Keep the gel stored as directed rather than leaving it in a hot or sunny spot as a reminder.
