How to apply ClindaTech:
1. Before applying ClindaTech remove any make-up or cosmetics and shave if needed.
2. Wash the affected areas thoroughly with warm water and a neutral or pH balanced mild soap, rinse well and pat dry.
3. After washing or shaving, allow the skin to dry for 15 to 30 minutes before applying ClindaTech. Since it contains alcohol, it may irritate your freshly washed or shaved skin.
4. ClindaTech comes in a bottle with an applicator, to apply the medicine directly to the skin.
5. Apply ClindaTech to the affected areas over the entire face. Avoid applying to open wounds, inflamed skin, eyes or any mucous membranes.
6. Be careful applying ClindaTech around the mouth as it has an unpleasant taste.
