Step 1: Cleanse the skin: Wash the whole area to be treated with plain water, or with a mild skin cleanser if the skin is greasy, then dry it thoroughly.

Step 2: Apply twice a day: Unless your doctor has told you otherwise, apply the cream twice a day and rub it in gently.

Step 3: Use the right amount: As a guide, use 2.5 cm (about 0.5 g) of cream for the whole face; adjust the amount when the chest and back are also treated.

Step 4: Wash your hands: Wash your hands thoroughly after each application.

Pro Tips:

• Very sensitive skin: apply it once a day, in the evening, during the first week, then twice a day.
• Use it regularly: a distinct improvement is usually seen after about 4 weeks; do not use it for more than 12 months at a time.
