Use a cotton swab to apply the tiniest dot directly
on an individual blemish at night—less than a grain of rice is enough. Leave it on overnight and wash the area in the morning. This is for an occasional spot, not for spreading across a whole breakout.
Some people like it because the cooling ingredients can make an inflamed spot feel calmer, and the ointment dries to a light film. But this is not gentle enough for everyone. Never use it on broken or picked skin, and stop right away
