As tolerated: It's strong stuff, but your best over-the-counter acne remedy. If the package guidelines are not helpful, see if you can tolerate it twice daily. Some preparations need to be rinsed off (leave on for at least 20 seconds), others do not. You're on additional good rx's; stronger ones are available if they don't clear you. Good luck.
