Side Effects and Special Precautions
For external use only.
Keep away from mouth, eyes and other mucous membranes to avoid irritation.
The product should only be applied to other sensitive areas, such as the skin of the neck, with caution. In normal use a mild burning sensation will probably be felt on the first application, and a moderate reddening and peeling of the skin will occur within a few days.
During the first few weeks of treatment a sudden increase in peeling will occur in most patients, but this is not harmful and will subside within a day or two if the treatment is temporarily discontinued.
If discomfort such as burning, redness or excess peeling occur, discontinue treatment temporarily or consult a doctor.
