Question

I'm wondering if it's okay to put Deriva BPO gel just on my acne spots or scars, or should I go ahead and apply it to my whole face? I'm a bit concerned about how it might affect the rest of my skin if I use it all over. What do you recommend?

Deriva BPO gel can be applied to the full face, not just on acne or acne scars. It should be applied as a thin layer on the entire affected area once daily, preferably in the evening, after washing the face with a gentle cleanser. Remember to use sunscreen during the day as this product can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
