Patients with uncontrolled hypertension with sitting systolic BP more than or equal to 160 mmHg and/or diastolic BP more than or equal to 100 mmHg at screening. 11. Patient has any abnormality on 12-lead ECG at screening that in the opinion of the investigator is clinically significant and is judged as potential risk for patientââ?¬•s participation in the study. 12. Patients with a history of experiencing significant burning or stinging when applying any facial treatment (e.g., make-up, soap, masks, washes, sunscreens, etc.) to their face. 13.
