When using this product

- avoid contact with hair or dyed fabrics, including carpet and clothing which may be bleached by this product
- with other topical acne medication, at the same time or immediately following use of this product, increased dryness or irritation of the skin may occur. If this occurs, only one medication should be used unless directed by a doctor.
- skin irritation may occur, characterized by redness, burning, itching, peeling or possibly swelling. More frequent use or higher concentrations may aggravate skin irritation. Mild irritation may be reduced by using the product less frequently or in a lower concentration.
Stop use and ask a doctor if skin irritation becomes severe.
Keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center immediately.
Directions
- cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication
- cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times a day
- because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
- if going outside use a sunscreen. Allow Clearasil Ultra® Rapid Action Treatment Cream to dry, then follow directions in sunscreen labeling. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and consult a doctor.
