How To Use Acnecide Spot Treatments

New to using spot and blemish creams? Whether you want a wash off treatment or a leave-on “on the spot” gel, here’s everything you need to know to get started with Acnecide spot treatments.

Acnecide Face Gel (leave-on treatment)

Apply the gel in a thin layer to the affected areas on your face.

Avoid the more sensitive areas like eyes, mouth/lips, nose lining and neck.

Use in moderation! Using too much too soon won’t get rid of your spots any quicker, but your skin may be more likely to become irritated!

Here are our top tips on how to get started with Acnecide Face Gel:

When you first start using Acnecide Face Gel:

1. Start using it just one a day and on alternate days until you build up tolerance to it. Do this for a few days and see how your skin copes.

2. If your skin tolerates the treatment, gradually build up your usage to a max of twice daily as follows:
– Apply once daily, in the evening before bed.
– After 2-3 days if your skin is tolerating the once-daily application, you can use it twice daily- morning and evening.

3. Don’t forget, you can drop back to use once daily or take a break if your skin becomes irritated.

Acnecide Face Wash (wash-off treatment)

1. Wet your face with cool water, in the areas to be treated.

2. Apply a small amount of the face wash gel to finger tips and massage over the affected areas. Leave it on the skin for 1-2 minutes of contact time followed by thorough rinsing with clean water to remove all traces of the Wash Gel. Gently pat skin dry with a towel.

3. Avoid the temptation! Using it too much or applying more than a small amount won’t get rid of your spots any quicker, but your skin may become irritated!
