You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Oxiben 2.5% Gel cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips. Apply it to the entire area affected by acne, not just each spot. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly with water.
Q. Should Oxiben 2.5% Gel be left on overnight?
At the beginning of the treatment, Oxiben 2.5% Gel is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Oxiben 2.5% Gel, so it can be left overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.
