How Benzac AC 2.5% Gel Works

Benzoyl peroxide is a potent oxidising agent that releases free oxygen radicals in follicular units, creating an inhospitable anaerobic environment for C. acnes. It also has a keratolytic effect that reduces follicular plugging and promotes exfoliation of comedones.

• Precautions: Avoid eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes; use sunscreen daily (especially with retinoids).

Side Effects
