Benzac Ac Gel Wash 100 ml

Benzac Ac Gel Wash 100 ml contains Benzoyl Peroxide (5% w/w).

Treatment of acne (pimples) including mild to moderate acne vulgaris; helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and unclog pores.

Benzoyl peroxide releases oxygen in the skin, which kills acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes). It also has mild keratolytic and comedolytic action, helping remove dead skin cells and reduce blocked pores and inflammation.

For external use only. Wet the affected area, apply a small amount of gel wash, gently lather for 10–20 seconds, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Start once daily and increase to twice daily if tolerated or as directed by a dermatologist. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and inside of nose; wash hands after use.

Dryness, peeling, redness, burning or stinging, itching, irritation, increased sensitivity to sunlight

May cause skin irritation especially at the start; reduce frequency or discontinue if severe irritation, swelling, blistering, or allergic reaction occurs. Avoid use on broken/eczema-affected skin unless advised. Can bleach hair and coloured fabrics. Use sunscreen and limit sun/UV exposure. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes; rinse well if contact occurs. If using other acne products (retinoids, salicylic acid, AHA/BHA), start slowly to reduce irritation.

Topical retinoids (tretinoin/adapalene), salicylic acid, glycolic acid/AHAs, sulfur/resorcinol products, alcohol-based astringents or scrubs (increased irritation); Dapsone gel (may cause temporary yellow/orange discoloration of skin/hair when used together)
