OLUX - How to Use and Apply

Please read all of the application instructions before beginning treatment.

Apply OLUX Foam twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Apply only enough to cover the affected areas. Do not apply OLUX Foam to the groin, armpits, or other skin fold areas.

To Use OLUX Foam:

Step 1

Before applying OLUX Foam for the first time, break the tiny plastic piece at the base of the can's rim by gently pushing back (away from the piece) on the nozzle.

Step 2

Turn the can upside down. Push the button to squirt a small amount of OLUX Foam into the cap of the can, onto a saucer or other cool surface, or your affected skin area. This amount should be no more than 1 1/2 capfuls, about the size of a golf ball.

Do not squirt OLUX Foam directly onto your hands (unless your hands are the affected areas), because the foam will begin to melt right away on contact with your warm skin.

If your fingers are warm, rinse them in cold water first. (Be sure to dry them thoroughly before handling the foam.) If the can seems warm or the foam seems runny, run the can under cold water.

Step 3

Using your fingertips, gently massage OLUX Foam into the affected areas until the foam disappears.

If you are treating areas with hair such as the scalp, move any hair away so that the foam can be applied directly to the affected areas.

Repeat the process until the affected areas are treated.

Keep the foam away from your eyes, as it will sting and may cause eye problems if there is frequent contact with your eyes. If the foam gets in your eyes, rinse them well with cold water right away. If the stinging continues, contact your doctor right away.

Step 4

Wash your hands after applying OLUX Foam. Throw away any of the unused medicine that you squirted out of the can.


Note: Use in children under 12 years of age is not recommended. Keep OLUX Foam and all other medications out of reach of children.

Store the can at controlled room temperature of 68°-77°F (20°-25°C).

Keep OLUX Foam away from and do not spray near fire, open flame, or direct heat. (Like hair spray or shaving foam, this product is flammable.)

Do not smoke while holding or using the can. Keep it away from lighters, matches, and all other ignition sources. Do not puncture or burn the can, and never throw it in a fire-even if empty.

WARNING: FLAMMABLE. AVOID FIRE, FLAME OR SMOKING DURING AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING APPLICATION.
