To use this formulation, apply a thin layer of the lotion to the affected area twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Gently massage the lotion into the skin until it is completely absorbed. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. If contact occurs, rinse with water. Do not use on broken or irritated skin.
