• You should try to avoid exposure to strong sunlight while using Acnecide. If exposure is unavoidable, use a suitable sunscreen
lotion and apply Acnecide in the evening. Remember to wash the affected area before use.

or pharmacist may recommend continued treatment with a higher strength gel to further help clear your acne.
