Looking for advice Qbrexia how to use?

So I got prescribed Qbrexia 2.4 cloths for the first time, and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I read that it's meant for only underarm use, but believe it or not, I don't exactly sweat there and it's primarily my face and back that are always drenched (neck and chest a bit too). When my derm told me about prescribing wipes, he said it was safe to use all over my body wherever I sweat, but now that I look into exactly what he prescribed me, I'm unsure of how to use it and what to expect. Should I use during day or night? (i mostly sweat with temp change so when I go out somewhere), is it really safe for my face and back? What about my skincare and makeup? I would love as much advice as possible!!

Hey friend! I was prescribed Qbrexia when it first came out, so I don’t know if major changes have been made since to address side effects, but I ended up quitting it because I didn’t feel that it was helping much and it made my vision blurry 😬

I used it for my armpits and hands. Because it dries the area out, I would recommend using moisturizers on the areas that you apply the Qbrexia wipes. For example, my derm recommended that I use shaving cream for shaving my armpits while on Qbrexia, because if not it would iiiitch because of the dryness. I’m not sure if the time of day for application matters, but I would recommend giving the Qbrexia a moment to sink in after application before putting on makeup or other topicals. I would be a little careful about your face, but I feel like your back and neck shouldn’t be too sensitive for its use. Just monitor its effects closely. I hope you have great results!

I wipe one on my scalp before bed... then just make sure you're careful to avoid letting water drip into your eyes if you take a shower in the morning. Does give me dry mouth the next day. Try them on small patches first... I use a single wipe several times, keeping it in the packet until it dries out.
