I've just started using Germolene, too.
Just, wash your face, (I use an exfoliator, because I heard that helps to shrink pores

) with warm water, pat it dry, then apply the Germolene. As it says on the tube, just rub it in gently. You shouldn't be able to see white (the cream) when it's rubbed in, but it makes your face shiny D:.
Well, that's what I do. I wish I could tell you if it works or not, but it's too early to tell. I do that when I wake up and before I go to bed, to wash off the morning's application and my make-up. When you wash your face after applying it, you can usually smell the Germolene coming off - it's pretty distinctive

.
I started using it because an old friend of mine once said she would just wash her face, then apply, and she always had beautiful skin, so here's hoping.
Good luck
