How to Use:

1. Keep the bottle upright until the pink powder layer settles at the bottom. Do not shake the bottle before use.
   
2. Pick up a small amount of the powder layer using the applicator or a clean cotton swab.
3. Apply the product directly onto the blemish or targeted area without spreading it across the entire face.
4. Allow it to dry completely, then leave it on the area overnight.
5. Remove any remaining residue during your morning cleansing routine.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends not shaking the bottle, as the product is designed to keep the liquid layer separate from the pink powder.
• If the two layers become mixed during transportation, leave the bottle standing upright without moving it until the powder settles at the bottom again.
• Use only enough product to cover the blemish itself, as applying an excessively thick layer does not necessarily produce faster results.
• Use a clean cotton swab each time if you are not using the included applicator to help maintain the cleanliness of the bottle's contents.
• Apply it as the final step in your skincare routine to prevent it from spreading across the face while applying serums or creams.
• If you have dry skin, continue using a suitable moisturizer on the rest of your face and avoid applying the powder to dry areas unaffected by blemishes.
• Because the formula contains Salicylic Acid and several other exfoliating acids, avoid using multiple strong exfoliants on the same area during the same evening if your skin is easily irritated.
• If you use retinoids or strong acne treatments, consider separating their application if dryness or sensitivity occurs rather than layering several active products on the same spot.
• Do not squeeze a blemish before applying the product, as this may increase irritation, redness, and the likelihood of post-blemish marks.
• Avoid applying the powder to open wounds or recently picked blemishes until the skin surface has calmed.
• If your skin is sensitive, start by applying the product to one blemish or a small area to monitor skin tolerance.
• When using the product at night, make sure to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning, especially because the formula contains exfoliating acids.
• It can be used as needed when blemishes appear, but if you notice excessive dryness or peeling, reduce the frequency of application.
• Beauty Time recommends not relying on this product as a complete treatment for all types of acne. It is intended for targeted care, while severe or persistent acne may require professional evaluation.
