Do not use if you are sensitive to sunlight (photosensitivity) or are taking a medication that causes photosensitivity e.g., certain antibiotics such as tetracycline, NSAIDS such as ibuprofen or retinoids such as Accutane and/or topical retinoids such as Retin A. Always check the instructions that come with your medical products to see if photosensitivity is listed as a side effect.
