The 5% gel is the second step in our acne routine, similar to the 2.5% and contains double the amount of Benzoyl Peroxide. This is a stronger alternative in overcoming stubborn spots. 

This formulation contains Acrylates Copolymer that absorbs excess oils whilst leaving the important hydration your skin needs untouched.

Benefits

• Kills P.Acnes bacteria responsible for acne
• Unclog pores, blackheads and whiteheads
• Reduces inflammation
• Acrylates Copolymer reduces excess oiliness and reduces the risk of irritation

How to use

As the second step in acne routine, only use Benzac AC acne treatment gel 5% on affected areas. Make sure you wash with a cleanser first and patting your skin dry. Next, apply a thin film of gel – just once a day – and leave it for two hours. Wash off well with water and pat dry, before applying a light moisturiser. 

If, after three days, you’ve felt no discomfort, apply in the evening and leave overnight before washing off. After seven days, if there’s no redness or peeling, and your condition has not improved, use twice daily, morning and night.

Unless you have sensitive skin, begin your treatment with Benzac AC acne treatment gel 2.5%. If your condition has not improved after one month, consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional.

Always read the label. Follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, do consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional.
