Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-term skin disease that occurs when dead skin cells and oil from the skin clog hair follicles. Typical features of the condition include blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring. It primarily affects skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back.

Episcale CN Gel is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your dermatologist.  You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medicine.
