Should Eremis 2% Face Wash be left overnight?

At the beginning of the treatment, Eremis 2% Face Wash is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Eremis 2% Face Wash, so it can be left overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.
