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

If you experience severe local irritation, which means severe redness, dryness and itching and stinging/burning sensation, discontinue the medicine and consult the doctor.
Q. What precautions should be followed while applying Gemaben Lotion?
Use Gemaben Lotion only on your skin. Keep it away from your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Gemaben Lotion on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Take care when using Gemaben Lotion on sensitive areas of skin such as your neck. This is because Gemaben Lotion can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sunlight. So, avoid the use of sunbeds/lamps and minimize the time you spend in the sun. You should use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Gemaben Lotion. Avoid contact with hair as Gemaben Lotion has strong bleaching properties. Consult your doctor for any other query related to Gemaben Lotion.

The initial dose is preferably once daily in the evening. Later, the doctor will gradually increase the dose to twice daily (most probably morning and evening) depending upon the requirement.
Q. How long does Gemaben Lotion take to show its effects?
You may see an improvement after 4-6 weeks of treatment. You may need to use this treatment for a longer duration to gain maximum benefit. Do not worry, this is normal for acne treatments. If your acne does not get better after 1 month or if it gets worse, talk to your doctor immediately.
Q. When can I apply moisturizer, before or after Gemaben Lotion?
You may apply moisturizer an hour after applying Gemaben Lotion. Consult your doctor in case of any doubt or concern.
