1. Cleanse and dry your skin.
2. Apply a small amount and spread it over the whole face, avoiding the eye area.
3. Use twice daily, morning and evening.
4. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

A suggested routine for blemish-prone skin from the Effaclar line:

1. Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel or Effaclar Micro-Peeling Gel to cleanse.
2. Effaclar Duo+M cream as your targeted care and moisturizer.
3. Anthelios Oil Control sunscreen in the morning.

• Apply it to the whole face, not just on blemishes, as it also helps keep new ones at bay.
• Daily consistency matters more than quantity; a thin layer is enough.
• Avoid using several strong exfoliants at the same time so your skin doesn't dry out.
• Sunscreen helps keep blemish marks from darkening.
