but the shininess of protopic is horrible and my face just looks greasy....so I apply elidel in the morning and protopic at night. Elidel is similar to protopic but it is a cream as opposed to an ointment so it is not greasy. It is, however, less potent.
Protopic is recommended to apply twice a day. Once in the morning and again in the evening. The cream is shiny, so I prefer not to apply the cream in the morning. Instead, I apply one application at night on the face. I am sure my dermatologist wants me to apply twice a day to all spots, but that's not going to happen.

Hi There,
My dermatologist wants me to apply once a day, at the evening because your skin it will be more sensitive at the sun light.
I apply protopic when I go to the bed, and on the morning I take my bath and put my normal creams.
After 5 months of use, I clean all of the most of my face, there's only a few white patches on the neck. :)
twice a day - morning and night.

would you send me the link for buying protopic you are using. do you have any brand? is it working well.
thanks
You need a prescription. It is sold at a pharmacy.
I got this one from the doctor, you can find it everywhere in the pharmacy, but i guess you need a prescription.
thank you
I applied yesterday, and my skin was burning and I only did one time
2x a day is ok.
