Brief Answer:
you can use it until pimple gets reduced

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks again
you can use it until pimple gets reduced, it may take nearly 2 months.Once it is reduced you can slowly taper the medicine by applying on face alternatively instead of daily.
Dont apply any oil based face creams/make up.
Drink plenty of water.It keeps you hydrated and removes toxin from the body.

If you have any doubt you are welcome.Otherwise kindly close the thread and rate it

Take care
