STEP 1: Cleanse your skin with a gentle, non-irritating cleanser, such as Effaclar Gel. STEP 2: Take a hazelnut-sized amount of Effaclar Duo (+) lotion and warm it in your hands to facilitate its absorption. STEP 3: Apply a thin layer to your forehead, then use light strokes to spread it on your face. It can be used 1 to 3 times daily. For new users: apply Effaclar Duo(+) to a small area once a day for three days to test if you are sensitive to this product. If no discomfort occurs, cover the entire affected area with a thin layer. Start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily, if needed. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
