1. Do Not Spot Treat: Unless explicitly directed otherwise by an esthetician, apply a thin layer over the entire acne-prone area to prevent new acne from forming under the surface.
2. The Acclimation Process: Start by applying it in the evening and leaving it on for only 15 to 30 minutes, then rinsing it completely off. Slowly increase the wear time over several weeks until your skin can tolerate leaving it on overnight.
3. The "Buffer" Hack: If you experience initial dryness, apply a thin layer of Face Reality Hydrabalance (or your hydrating gel) underneath the Acne Med to act as a supportive moisture barrier.
4. Fabric Warning: Benzoyl peroxide will bleach colored fabrics. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying, and use white towels and white pillowcases.
