Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

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.

Quick tips

Apply retinoids at night to clean, dry skin, and moisturise afterwards.
Give it at least eight to twelve weeks before judging whether it works.
Do not pick or squeeze spots.
That is what leaves scars.
