1. Morning Routine: Apply a moisturizer, preferably with sunscreen, that will not aggravate your acne. 2. Nighttime Routine: Wash with a mild soap and dry skin gently. Wait 20-30 minutes to allow skin to completely dry. Squeeze no more than half an inch of medication onto fingertip; more medication will not yield faster or better results and may cause irritation.
