Thank you for purchasing from HarlanMD!

We're excited for you to experience the relief that SmartLotion can bring!

*If you need help finding the application instructions that work best for you please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team at support@harlanmd.com.

Before you get started please read the reminders below:

  • Always consult your dermatologist for diagnosis, supervision and treatment.
  • If your dermatologist has prescribed you a treatment for your dermatitis, do not stop treatment and replace it with SmartLotion®.
  • SmartLotion® works well when combined with prescription solutions, and doesn't have any negative drug interactions.
  • Always apply SmartLotion® and Perfect Repair™ Moisturizer as a thin, disappearing layer. Remember to let your skin "breathe." You will find that a small amount of SmartLotion® can cover a large area.
  • For open wounds: apply SmartLotion® around the wound, but not in. You can safely apply Perfect Repair™ Moisturizer or other moisturizers to the wound.

Okay! Let's get started!

General usage instructions/reminders:

Generally speaking, facial skin is thinner and needs less applications for both recovery and prevention than the rest of your body. Limit facial applications of SmartLotion® to no more than 2x per day for 2 weeks and body applications of SmartLotion® to no more than 4x per day for 4 weeks.

After up to 2 weeks of 2x per day applications on the face and other sensitive skin areas, SmartLotion® is safe to apply indefinitely as a preventative when applied 1x per day, although often less is required.

After up to 4 weeks of 4x per day applications on the body and other "less sensitive" skin areas, SmartLotion® is safe to apply indefinitely as a preventative 2x per day, although often less is required.

Moisturizing information:

For many forms of dermatitis, notably atopic dermatitis, Dr. Harlan says that his patients must moisturize at a minimum of 2x per day - whether a rash is present or not. For this, Dr. Harlan recommends Perfect Repair™ Moisturizer (available here). This is a moisturizer he formulated specifically for dermatitis moisturizing needs.

Stinging: It's Part of The Healing Process

While rare, some users do report burning/stinging after application. This is NORMAL! It is part of the healing process and should reduce with healing time.
