#MBSKINTIP: No matter how tempted you are, don’t shake the bottle! If you do—simply set the bottle on an even, flat surface. Leave it undisturbed for a few hours and voilà: your Drying Lotion is settled and looking brand new. You can use Drying Lotion to target surface blemishes on the back, chest, and neck, too.

How to use

1. Before bed (after cleansing and toning), dip a cotton swab into the pink sediment at the bottom of the bottle.
   
2. Dab directly on the surface blemish*; DO NOT RUB IN.
   
3. DO NOT dip the same cotton swab into the bottle again. Use the other side of the cotton swab to avoid contaminating the product with bacteria.
   
4. Let dry and rinse off in the morning.

* Do NOT use on broken skin.
