How Acnecross Gel works

Acne gels typically work by reducing acne-causing bacteria, decreasing inflammation, and helping unclog pores (comedolytic effect). The exact mechanism depends on the active ingredient(s) in this brand; check the pack label for the full composition.

How to take Acnecross Gel

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer to acne-affected skin as advised by a doctor (often once daily at night or twice daily). Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and broken/irritated skin; wash hands after application.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Acnecross as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Acnecross than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
