- After use, wash hands thoroughly and replace cap tightly.
- When you first use Acnecide Face Wash Gel apply the once daily on alternate days, in the evening before going to bed.
- You may feel mild burning and notice slight reddening and peeling of the skin during the first few days. If you have more severe redness, burning, irritation and peeling then you should stop treatment and let your skin go back to normal before restarting treatment.
- If Acnecide Face Wash Gel does not affect your skin, or you have only mild burning and slight reddening and peeling after 2-3 days of use, you can apply twice a day, in the morning and evening. If this causes more skin symptoms (burning, irritation, redness, peeling) then you should go back to using Acnecide Face Wash Gel only once a day. If your skin becomes or remains more severely irritated after stopping, you should speak to your doctor.
