4. Leave the gel until it dries and forms its protective layer without rubbing it.
5. Can be used once or twice daily according to skin tolerance.
6. It is preferable to use it from the first signs of blemish appearance.
7. Makeup can be applied after a few minutes of application and once the product has settled on the skin.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends using it as a targeted treatment only and not spreading it over the entire face, because its formula contains exfoliating concentrations directed at imperfections.
• The best time to start is when noticing the first signs of a blemish rather than waiting until it becomes more inflamed and visible.
• Use an amount enough to cover the blemish with a thin and even layer; using more product does not mean faster results.
• Leave the gel layer to dry completely so you can benefit from its protective patch-like effect.
• Avoid squeezing blemishes or touching them repeatedly during the treatment period to reduce the possibility of later marks.
• If you use retinol or other exfoliating acids on the face, try not to apply them to the same blemish area in the same routine if sensitivity or dryness appears.
• For sensitive skin, start with once daily, then increase to twice if no irritation appears.
• Follow with a suitable moisturizer on the rest of the face, and moisturizer can be applied around the area without removing the targeted layer.
• If used during the day, make broad-spectrum sunscreen an essential step to help protect the skin and reduce the increased appearance of acne marks.
• If blemishes are severe, widespread, or repeatedly painful, the skin may need a more complete treatment routine instead of relying only on targeted treatment.
