After a successful consultation with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/\">Skin + Me<\/a> Dermatology Team, it may be added to your personalised solution Daily Doser treatment. Your Prescriber will direct you on how to use it. It\u2019s recommended you apply once, nightly and always use at least sunscreen SPF factor 30+ daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azelaic acid and niacinamide may also be included in your Daily Doser. Use these as directed. If you use products with these ingredients separately, you can use them morning and evening as part of your normal skincare routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s recommended that you don\u2019t combine additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/our-ingredients\">active ingredients<\/a> alongside your Daily Doser. A simple, stripped-back routine is best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always cleanse thoroughly and hydrate your skin with moisturiser to suit your skin type.
