How Benzac Power Patch works

Acne patches create a protective barrier over the pimple to reduce picking and contamination. Depending on the embedded actives, they may help absorb exudate/oil and reduce bacterial load and redness to support faster healing.

How to take Benzac Power Patch

Clean and dry the affected area. Apply the patch directly over the pimple and press firmly for good adhesion. Leave on for several hours/overnight and replace with a new patch as needed; for external use only.

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