How to use

Apply to dampened skin and gently massage. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Pat dry. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application use. Precautions: When using this product: Skin irritation and dryness is more likely to occur if you use another topical acne medication at the same time. If irritation occurs, reduce application use.

Red does not mean poison. Preservatives that stop a product going off, UV filters and fragrance can land on yellow or red depending on their score.

Green does not mean right for you. Skin and allergies differ from person to person. Treat the color as a starting point.
