Compliance is key to getting results. If you don’t use the medication as directed, for whatever reason, it will take longer to get results. Also, if you use too much medication or apply it too often, you increase the risk of irritation, which will also make your skin look less than optimal.

If you are not sure, call your doctor to review the instructions. It is better to ask twice than to do it wrong.
