Pairs Well With
MicroSoft Cleanser: Gentle cleansing without another acid step. Halo-Ronic Serum: Add hydration when needed and tolerated. Igloo Moist: A lightweight moisturizing step if its cooling ingredients are comfortable for your skin. Complete daytime routines with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
Morning and Evening Routine
Morning: Gentle cleanser → moisturizer → broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Lacto-S may be used in the morning as tolerated and per label directions.
Evening: Gentle cleanser → thin layer of Lacto-S on the acne-affected area on treatment nights → moisturizer as needed.
Alternate With / Professional Guidance
Initially apply once daily and increase frequency only if needed and tolerated. To reduce irritation, consider separate nights for Lacto-S and Retinol Charisma, Lacto 10, Lacto-C 15 or other concentrated exfoliants. Using other topical acne medications simultaneously increases the risk of dryness and irritation; if irritation occurs, use only one topical acne medication at a time.
OTC Drug Facts, Directions and Precautions

Directions: Cleanse the skin thoroughly. Cover affected areas with a thin layer one to three times daily. Begin with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily only as needed, tolerated, or directed by a doctor.
