Tell your doctor if you are using topical medicines such as,

• certain astringents
• certain medicated soaps, shampoos and hair permanent products

• Always apply this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you
• Gently wash your face with a mild cleanser
• Don’t use a wash cloth to apply the cleanser, just use your fingers
• Rinse and pat your skin dry
• Apply at night, at least 30 minutes before bedtime
• Put a small amount (pea sized or 1/2 inch or less) of ADVAN THF on your fingertip
• Apply a thin coat onto the discolored spot(s). Include about 1/2 inch of normal skin surrounding the affected area
• Rub the medicine lightly and uniformly into your skin
• The medicine should become invisible almost at once
• If you can still see it, you are using too much
• Keep the medicine away from the corners of your nose, your mouth, eyes and open wounds. Spread it away from those areas when applying it
• Do not cover the treated area with anything after applying
• If your skin gets too irritated, stop using ADVAN THF, and let your doctor know
• To help avoid skin dryness, you may use a moisturizer in the morning after you wash your face
• You may also use a moisturizer and cosmetics during the day
• Use a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 and a wide-brimmed hat over the treated areas. If you get sunburned, stop using ADVAN THF until your skin is healed

If you use more ADVAN THF

• Too much ADVAN THF may irritate your skin, waste medicine, and won’t give you faster or better results
• Do not use more ADVAN THF or apply it more often than recommended by your doctor
