The correct use of acne cream can be carried out according to the following steps:
1. Clean the skin: Before using acne cream, thoroughly clean the skin to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. You can use warm water and cleansing products suitable for sensitive skin, gently massage the face, and then rinse off with clean water. If the pores are severely clogged, you can use a hot towel soaked in warm water to apply to the face for about 10 minutes to help open the pores and soften dirt.
2. Apply ointment: After cleaning and drying the skin, take an appropriate amount of acne cream and apply it to your fingertips or cotton swab. Gently apply the acne cream onto the pimples, avoiding large areas to prevent irritation to the surrounding healthy skin. You can gently massage the acne area with your fingertips to help the ointment penetrate and absorb better.
3. Observation and care: After using acne cream, pay attention to the reaction of the skin. If discomfort symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, and stinging occur, stop using immediately and consult a doctor for advice. The frequency of using acne cream should be determined according to individual skin type and acne situation. Generally, 1-2 times a day are sufficient, and excessive use is not recommended. During the use of acne cream, pay attention to maintaining the moisture balance of the skin and use moisturizing products in moderation. Maintaining good lifestyle habits, such as avoiding staying up late and maintaining a balanced diet, can help alleviate and prevent acne.
The above steps are for reference only, and the specific usage method needs to be determined according to the instructions of the acne cream and the doctor's advice. If the acne problem is severe or persists without improvement, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
