ACNE INSTRUCTIONS

Applying your topical medicine:
Wash your face gently with your cleanser and towel dry. To decrease irritation of applying medicine to moist skin, wait up to 20-30 minutes, letting your face air-dry, before applying your medicine. At night do not apply your medicine immediately before going to bed- the medicine might come off of your face if it smears onto your bedding.

To apply your medicine: take an amount the size of a pea on your finger. Make five dots on your face on your nose, cheeks, forehead and chin and spread around the medicine thinly and evenly. Remember that only the amount of medicine in contact with your skin will be beneficial. Do not use excess amounts of medicine and also do not "spot-treat" individual lesions. As a guide, you likely should not be going through one container of medicine a month. If you are, you are likely applying too thick a layer.
Let your medicine dry before applying anything else, such as sunscreen or makeup.

Taking your pills:

-> if without food, please avoid foods and products containing iron, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, and bismuth - such as dairy, meats, and antacids- one hour before and one hour after taking your medicine. If you have some stomach upset with your pills, you may take them with some very plain foods, such as unseasoned pasta, rice or crackers, a piece of fruit or a cola.
Remember: your condition may worsen before it improves! After a few weeks of treatment you should start to see results.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
