Indications & Usage

Uses Cleansing pads for the treatment of acne, with the skin enhancement properties of Glycolic acid.

Dosage & Administration

Directions Wipe the entire affected area with a moist pad one to three times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin can occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a physician. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.

Warnings

Warnings For external use only. Keep away from eyes, lips, and mouth. If irritation develops, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Using other topical acne medication at the same time or immediately following use of this product may increase dryness or irritation of the skin.

If swallowed, seek professional assistance or contact a Poison Control Center immediately.
