helpFrequently Asked Questions

You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Persol AC 2.5 Gel cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips. Apply it to the entire area affected by acne, not just each spot. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly with water.

How often should I apply Persol AC 2.5 Gel?

The initial dose is preferably once daily in the evening. Later, the doctor will gradually increase the dose to twice daily (most probably morning and evening).

Can I leave Persol AC 2.5 Gel on overnight?

expand_more

Persol AC 2.5 Gel is usually applied once a day in the evening when starting treatment. After applying it, the area does not need to be washed off, so it can be left on overnight. If you notice significant irritation or discomfort, stop using it and consult your doctor.
