Each female subject of childbearing potential (excluding women who are surgically sterilized or postmenopausal for at least 2 years), in addition to having a negative urine pregnancy test at Visit 1/Day 1, must be willing to use an acceptable form of birth control during the study.

Subjects entering the study who are on hormonal contraceptives (oral contraceptives, patches and injection) must have been on this method for at least 3 months (90 days) prior to the study and continue the method for the duration of the study. Subjects who had used hormonal contraception (oral contraceptives, patches and injection) and stopped must have stopped no less than 3 months (90 days) prior to baseline. Subjects entering the study using contraceptive implants and intrauterine contraceptives must have been on this method for at least 6 months (180 days) and continue for the duration of the study and if they stopped must have stopped no less than 6 months (180 days) prior to baseline.
* Clinical diagnosis of AK, defined as ≥ 5 and ≤ 20 clinically typical, visible or palpable AK lesions, each at least 4 mm in diameter, in an area that exceeds 25 cm2 on either the face (excluding ears) or balding scalp, but not both face and scalp.
* In general good health and free from any clinically significant disease, other than AK, that might interfere with the study evaluations.
* Willing and able to understand and comply with the requirements of the study, apply the IP as instructed, attend the required visits, comply with therapy prohibitions, and be able to complete the study.

Exclusion Criteria

* Presence of atopic dermatitis, basal cell carcinoma, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, squamous cell carcinoma, or other possible confounding skin conditions on the treatment area of either the face or balding scalp.
* Clinically significant systemic disease (immunological deficiencies), unstable medical disorder, life-threatening disease, or current malignancies.
* Use on the face or balding scalp of chemical peel, dermabrasion, laser abrasion, psoralen plus ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy, and/or ultraviolet B (UVB) therapy in the last 6 months (180 days)
* Use of any systemic cancer chemotherapy medications in the last 6 months (180 days)

* Immunomodulators or immunosuppressive therapies, interferon, oral/systemic corticosteroids, or cytotoxic drugs in the last 1 month (30 days). Intranasal or inhaled corticosteroids are acceptable if kept constant throughout the study.

* Known hypersensitivity or allergies to imiquimod or any component of the IP (in any dosage form).
* Females who are pregnant, breastfeeding, intending to become pregnant during the study, or who do not agree to use an acceptable form of birth control during the study.
* Any clinically significant condition or situation other than the condition being studied that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the study evaluations or optimal participation in the study.
