Unfortunately, my doctor did not give me much direction. After adjusting my skincare routine to include moisturizer before I put the Veltin on my skin helped immensely.

    So I did not read the instruction as supposed to and I Put the gel all over my face and touched my lips. Now my lips burned and are extremely dried. It works well with my skin and was prescribed this to dry my skin since I'm oily and easily to attract acne. So far so good. Tip: Don't let it touch your lips!

I am still taking gut medicine with the gel now, and plan on using it until my skin fully clears. I don't get any bad side effects now, but they were bad the first month I was using the gel. I use a gentle face was ... Show Full Comment
