2. Sterilizes the bacteria causing pimples

3. Reduces swelling and redness of pimples
Suppresses pus formation caused by bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes, calming swelling and redness.
■ Key Points for Healing Pimples
(1) First, wash your face.
It is important to keep acne-prone skin clean. Especially, you must firmly control sebum, which is a favorite food of acne bacteria.
Wash gently but thoroughly so as not to irritate pimples. Be careful not to leave shampoo residue at the hairline.
(2) Use the acne treatment ointment frequently.
Take a small amount on your fingertip and gently apply it to cover the pimples.
(3) Nighttime care before sleep is also recommended.
It is recommended for acne treatment during sleep, when skin metabolism is said to be most active.
Avoid staying up late as much as possible to reduce skin burden, and get plenty of sleep.
