Acnecide Gel 5% is a topical medication formulated to treat mild to moderate acne. Its active ingredient, benzoyl peroxide, helps to reduce and prevent acne by targeting bacteria on the skin's surface and unclogging pores. The 5% concentration is designed for effective treatment while minimising irritation. This gel should be applied to clean, affected areas once or twice daily, following the provided instructions. It's advisable to start with a small amount and gradually increase usage to prevent excessive dryness or sensitivity. Consulting a healthcare professional before use, especially if combining with other acne treatments, is recommended.

Active ingredients: Hydrous Benzoyl peroxide equivalent to Benzoyl peroxide 5% w/w

Also contains: Docusate sodium, disodium edetate, poloxamer 182, carbomer 940, propylene glycol, acrylates copolymer, glycerol, colloidal anhydrous silica, sodium hydroxide and purified water.

Before each application, the skin should be cleaned and dried. Apply in a thin layer once or twice daily or as directed to the affected areas. Persons with sensitive skin should be directed to apply the gel once daily before going to bed. The extent of any drying or peeling may be adjusted by modifying the dosage schedule.
