Some initial dryness and mild redness are a normal part of every effective acne treatment!
Here are some tips that will help calm down your skin.
1. Use only a “pea-sized" amount the whole face. To do that apply some cream to your finger and touch the 6 areas of your face; twice on the forehead, one on each cheek, one on the nose, and one on the chin. Then, gently spread the cream over the all-region.
2. While applying your acne treatment cream, you should avoid a few sensitive areas; around the eyes, around your mouth and the edges of your nose.
3. You can also apply some of your moisturizer on your anti-acne cream at night.
4. If redness and dryness are significant , use your night treatment cream every other night. Once your skin gets used to the cream switch back to every night.
