To minimize potential irritation, integrate this gel as the last step in your routine, after cleansing, toning, and applying your regular serum and moisturizer. Applying your moisturizer first creates a slight buffer. Then, use a tiny amount of the gel directly on the blemish. This helps the active ingredients work locally without overly drying the surrounding skin, which is supported by the glycerin and urea in the formula.
Pay special attention to product combinations. If you use prescription retinoids, over-the-counter retinol, benzoyl peroxide, or exfoliating acids (like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or azelaic acid), avoid applying them directly on top of or underneath this gel on the same spot. Using multiple targeted anti-blemish products simultaneously can significantly increase the risk of redness, peeling, and irritation. It's often better to alternate nights or use different products on different areas of the face.
As with introducing any new product, especially if you have sensitive skin, start by using it once a day to observe how your skin responds. This product is not a substitute for a balanced diet or medical advice. Consult a specialist before use if you have chronic skin conditions, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication.
