How Zitcare Foam Wash works

A medicated/dermocosmetic foam wash cleanses the skin by removing excess sebum, debris and surface microbes from pores. Regular cleansing helps keep pores clear and supports acne-control regimens.

How to take Zitcare Foam Wash

For external use only. Wet face/affected area, take a small amount of foam wash, gently massage for 20–30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly with water. Use 1–2 times daily or as directed by a dermatologist. Avoid contact with eyes and broken skin.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Zitcare Foam Wash, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause severe irritation when far too much cream is applied; an oral retinoid taken in excess can cause headache, vomiting and liver injury. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Safety advice for Zitcare Foam Wash

Warnings and precautions

For external use only. Stop use and consult a doctor if severe irritation, swelling or allergic reaction occurs. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with plenty of water if it occurs. Use with caution on very sensitive or eczematous skin; do not apply on deep wounds. If used along with other acne medicines, excessive dryness/irritation may occur—adjust frequency as advised.

How to store Zitcare Foam Wash

Expert advice for Zitcare Foam Wash

Use Zitcare Foam Wash consistently as part of your daily routine, even when acne starts improving, to help prevent new breakouts. Apply only a small amount and gently massage; scrubbing harder will not clear acne faster and may irritate the skin. Leave the foam on the skin for the recommended time (about 20–30 seconds) before rinsing thoroughly with water. Avoid using harsh scrubs, alcohol-based cleansers, or multiple acne products at the same time unless advised, as this can increase irritation. Limit excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen if needed, as irritated or peeling skin can be more sensitive. Stop use and consult a doctor if you notice severe redness, burning, or peeling that does not improve.
