Benzac AC Gel (Benzoyl Peroxide)
Product Description: Benzac AC Gel or acne cream is a
widely used and dermatologist-recommended acne treatment that contains benzoyl
peroxide. It works by targeting the bacteria that cause acne and reducing
excess oil production on the skin. It helps to treat existing acne and prevent
new breakouts from forming. Available in various strengths (2.5%, 5%, and 10%),
it’s suitable for mild to moderate acne.
Uses of Benzac AC Gel:
Acne Treatment: Effectively treats both
inflammatory acne (pimples, pustules) and non-inflammatory acne (blackheads,
whiteheads).
Oil Control: Helps in reducing excess oil
on the skin, which is a common cause of acne.
Antibacterial Action: Kills bacteria,
especially Propionibacterium acnes, which contributes to acne formation.
Skin Exfoliation: Aids in removing dead
skin cells and promoting skin renewal.
How to Apply Benzac AC Gel:
Cleanse: Gently wash the affected area with
a mild soap or cleanser and pat dry with a clean towel.
Apply: Squeeze a small amount of Benzac AC
Gel onto your fingertips.
Where to Apply: Dab the gel onto the
acne-prone areas of the face or body. Be careful to avoid the eyes, mouth, and
other sensitive areas.
How Often to Apply: Start by applying the
gel once a day, ideally in the evening. You may increase to twice a day (morning
and evening) if the skin tolerates it well.
Moisturize: Benzoyl peroxide can dry out
the skin, so it’s advisable to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent
excessive dryness.
Sun Protection: Always apply sunscreen
during the day when using acne treatments as they may increase skin sensitivity
to sunlight.
