Acnecide Gel Spot Treatment is specifically designed for individuals aged 12 and over seeking an effective solution for mild to moderate acne. Formulated with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide, this powerful gel targets acne at its source by effectively killing acne-causing bacteria, thereby promoting clearer, healthier skin. Ideal for use on the face, back, or chest, Acnecide Gel is your trusted ally in the fight against acne.

Active Ingredients

Benzoyl Peroxide (5% w/w): This potent active ingredient penetrates the skin to combat the bacteria responsible for acne, while also helping to reduce inflammation and unclog pores, resulting in a smoother complexion.

Usage Instructions

To achieve optimal results, follow these step-by-step instructions:

Cleanse: Begin by cleansing the affected area with a mild, non-irritating cleanser and lukewarm water. Gently pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
Apply: Squeeze a small amount of Acnecide Gel onto your fingertip and apply a thin layer directly to the affected area. Take care to avoid sensitive areas, including the eyes, mouth, and neck.
Wash Hands: After application, wash your hands thoroughly to remove any residue from the gel.
Frequency of Use: Depending on your skin’s tolerance, use the gel once or twice daily. It is advisable to start with a single application in the evening and, if well tolerated, gradually increase to twice daily.

Precautions

To ensure safe usage of Acnecide Gel, keep the following precautions in mind:

Avoid Sensitive Areas: Take care to prevent contact with the eyes, lips, and any sensitive areas of the skin to avoid irritation.
Bleaching Effects: Benzoyl Peroxide may cause bleaching of hair, towels, and fabrics, so be cautious when applying it and allow it to dry completely before getting dressed.
Storage Conditions: Store Acnecide Gel at room temperature, ideally below 25°C. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid exposing it to excessive heat or moisture.
For External Use Only: This product is strictly intended for external use. Avoid ingesting or applying it to broken skin.

Start Slow: If you are new to using benzoyl peroxide products, begin with once-daily application in the evening. Gradually increase to twice daily as your skin adjusts.
Sun Protection: Benzoyl peroxide can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. It’s advisable to limit sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, especially if you anticipate spending extended periods outside.
Monitor Skin Reaction: If you experience excessive dryness, peeling, or irritation, reduce the frequency of application. Give your skin time to acclimate to the treatment.
Consult a Healthcare Professional: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other medications, seek medical advice before incorporating Acnecide Gel into your skincare regimen.
