When should I use spot treatment?
Short answer: Spot treatment should be used on active acne lesions.
Detailed answer
Spot treatment should be used when you have active acne lesions such as pimples, whiteheads, or blackheads. It is not necessary to use spot treatment on areas without active breakouts. Apply the spot treatment directly onto the affected area after cleansing and toning your skin. Avoid spreading the treatment to surrounding healthy skin. It is best to use spot treatment in the evening before bed, as it allows the product to work overnight. If you experience any irritation or dryness, reduce the frequency of use and always follow the instructions provided by the product manufacturer. Remember that spot treatments are designed for short-term use and should not be used as a long-term solution for acne prevention.
