Caution should be exercised when using on damaged or sensitive skin areas such as dry or oily atopic skin, and in individuals allergic to propylene glycol, an ingredient in this product.

This product can bleach hair or colored fabrics, so care is necessary. If the skin becomes red or irritation persists, it is advisable to stop use and consult a professional. Skin sensitivity to sunlight may increase, so it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen. Upon initial application, mild stinging, redness, or skin peeling may occur, which is a normal phenomenon that may appear during the treatment process. Dry skin or peeling may occur after 1-2 weeks, but if treatment is temporarily suspended, symptoms will improve. To minimize irritation, do not use on already irritated skin and avoid using with other exfoliants or soaps. Cleansing should be done no more than twice a day with a mild cleanser, and cosmetics containing perfume or alcohol should be avoided. During treatment, exposure to sunlight should be avoided, and the use of UV lamps should be refrained from. Extra caution should be taken when using on light or sensitive areas of the skin. Before initial use, it is safe to perform a patch test on a small area to check for skin reactions. If symptoms of irritation are severe, increase the interval of use or lower the concentration used, and if symptoms persist, discontinue use and consider alternative treatment options. This product should not be used in conjunction with other topical acne treatments, particularly those containing retinoids.

Overuse can lead to severe skin peeling, redness, and swelling; if these symptoms occur, use should be stopped immediately and symptoms alleviated with cool compresses.
