This gel works by regulating excessive sebum production in the skin. For optimal results, apply a small amount at bedtime as directed by your physician. The treatment duration and dosage depend on your specific condition. Before application, cleanse and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer as prescribed. Avoid contact with broken skin, eyes, mouth, and nose. Visible improvements may take several weeks—consistent use is essential for maximum benefits. If no improvement occurs after several weeks, consult your doctor. Exceeding recommended usage won’t accelerate results and may increase adverse effects.
Common side effects include mild skin irritation, dryness, and redness, which typically subside as your skin adjusts. Maintain hydration and use moisturizers to counteract potential dryness of mouth, lips, and eyes. Notify your doctor if side effects persist or worsen. Serious reactions are uncommon.
This medication increases photosensitivity—limit sun exposure and use sun protection. It may temporarily weaken skin integrity; avoid waxing or laser treatments during therapy. Contraindicated in pregnancy due to potential teratogenic effects.
