Wet the face with lukewarm water. Dispense a small amount of gel into the palms and work into a light lather. Gently massage onto the face using circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use morning and evening as part of a complete Effaclar anti‑acne routine. Follow with a moisturizer and, during the day, a broad‑spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).
