It goes on the skin, not into it. Dissolve the 10 mg vial in about 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, then stir that into roughly 30 mL of an unscented leave-on cream or serum base, which lands near the 10 percent solution strength used in the published work. Smooth a pea-sized amount over the clean lines you are treating, twice a day, morning and night, and leave it on. Keep going daily, with the first measured changes landing around four weeks.
Your personal schedule is set after we review your survey.
