The protocol

Start low. Go slow. Stay consistent.

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin and massage in for 30 seconds. Cover the affected area without rubbing into broken skin. You can reapply every 4–6 hours as needed.

Practical tips

What clinicians tell their patients to actually do.

  1. Apply after a warm shower — open pores improve absorption.

  2. Wash hands after application to avoid transferring product to eyes.

  3. Layer over a thin moisturizer if your skin runs dry.

  4. Topicals are typically non-systemic — they won't show up on a urine drug test.

  5. If a spot is unresponsive after 3 days of regular use, try a different format alongside.

Talk to your clinician first if

When to pause and ask
