01

Follow the product label. The AAD describes testing a new skin-care product on a small area twice daily for seven to ten days, with rinse-off products used as directed.

02

Introduce one new product at a time so changes are easier to notice.

03

A small-area test cannot guarantee that a product will never cause a reaction.

04

Stop using a product if a reaction occurs and seek professional advice when needed.
