We recommend to: 

• Use it at night

Start with a gradual application, such as twice a week for the first week and then slowly increase

• Use a small amount

• Spread it in a thin layer

• Expect itching and flaking:

  While making sure your skin is dry, you will probably notice some irritation during the first few applications. Try to ride it out if you can, because this eventually goes away once your skin gets used to it. if too much irritation occur, then stop and leave a few days before reapplying. 

• Start slowly:   
• Use it once a week for one week, twice a week for two weeks, and then three times a week for three weeks. After that, you can keep increasing the frequency or stop there if it's all you can tolerate
