How it works

The Benzac AC gel works by penetrating deep into the skin to unblock pores and eliminate acne-causing bacteria. The potent formula contains benzoyl peroxide, renowned for its antimicrobial properties, which helps reduce blackheads and whiteheads. It’s also enriched with Acrylates Copolymer (AC) technology and hydrating glycerin to absorb excess oils and rehydrate the skin during treatment, effectively combating acne without drying out the skin.

Dosage

Only apply Benzac AC Moderate Strength 2.5% Acne Gel on affected areas as part of your three-step acne treatment routine.

Start by cleansing before gently patting your skin dry.

Then, apply a thin film of the gel only once a day, leaving it on for two hours before washing off with water, patting dry, and applying a light moisturiser.

After three days without discomfort, apply in the evening, leaving overnight before washing off.

If no redness or peeling occurs after seven days, and your skin's condition has not improved, use twice daily, morning and night.

If unsatisfied with results, consider using a stronger gel (Benzac AC High Strength 5% Acne Gel).

If your skin's condition has not improved after one month, seek the advice of a health professional.
