You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Benxop Face Wash cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips.

Should Benxop Face Wash be left on overnight?
At the beginning of the treatment, Benxop Face Wash is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Benxop Face Wash, so it can be left overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.
