Acne Treatment LotionFormulated with an advanced microparticle delivery system, this benzoyl peroxide-based therapeutic lotion has the ability to reduce P. acnes bacteria and absorb sebum from the surface of the skin.
Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day. If going outside, use a sunscreen. Allow Acne Treatment Lotion to dry, then follow directions in the sunscreen labeling. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and consult a doctor.
