Usage tips and suitability

This product is designed for targeted acne care and works best when used as part of a comprehensive routine. Follow the included product instructions for applying to breakouts and for stepwise cleansing and moisturizing. Keep in mind that skincare products should be tested on a small area first if you have sensitive skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a professional. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid contact with eyes.

Storage and routine notes: the patch layers under sunscreen and makeup, so you can treat breakouts during the day. For sensitive skin, start with limited exposure and observe how your skin responds over several days.
