Directions

SHAKE WELL.

Clean the skin thoroughly before applying this product. One to three times daily, wet skin and cover the entire affected area with a thin layer, liberally applying to areas to be cleansed. Massage gently into skin for 10-20 seconds working into a full lather, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. 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, apply sunscreen after using this product. Follow directions in the sunscreen labeling. If irritation or sensitivity develops stop use of both products and ask a doctor.
