How to take Acnestar Gel
For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer to the acne-affected skin once daily or as advised by a doctor. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, inside nose and broken/irritated skin; wash hands after application.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
