FAQ
What's Acne?
Acne is a type of inflammatory disorder of the skin. It happens when your hair follicles get blocked with dead skin and oil cells, which leads to pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and skin irritation. The skin condition occurs mainly among teens, but it can affect anyone, whatever their age. Apply a thin layer of gel to all the affected areas to treat acne effectively.

How should I use Acnecide?
Wash your face with water and a mild skin cleanser before using Acnecide. Next, pat your skin dry gently. Apply the Benzoyl Peroxide 60g gel to any affected area - you can do this once or twice a day.
If your skin is sensitive, only apply the Acnecide 5 Gel Benzoyl Peroxide 60g gel once at bedtime to prevent skin irritation. Be sure to rinse your hands after applying. And don't apply to broken or damaged skin and avoid contact with eyes.
If you notice your skin peeling or drying after applying the gel, cut down on how many times you apply the product. Instead of using Benzoyl Peroxide Acnecide gel once a day, apply once every other day so your skin adjusts.
How often do I use Benzoyl Peroxide Acnecide Gel?
Apply Benzoyl Peroxide Acnecide Gel once a day to the affected area(s) but can be used twice a day if advised. This gel is a suitable hydrous Benzoyl Peroxide equivalent. Avoid contact with eyes and avoid using on damaged skin.
Can I use any products on top of the Acnecide Gel?
Other treatments for acne may not be necessary alongside Acnecide, as it contains the active ingredient Benzoyl Peroxide. It is also not recommended to use any cosmetics that may cause a flare-up of your skin.
Side Effects
Acnecide may cause sensitivity or redness of the skin. If this is the case and you have sensitive skin and an intolerance to Acnecide, we recommend you stop using it and seek further medical advice. When using Acnecide, don't expose yourself to strong sunlight. If sun exposure is inevitable, apply a suitable sunscreen lotion, then use Acnecide at bedtime. Before applying, don't forget to wash the problem area.
