Benzac AC 2% Gel 30gm pack of 2

Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel belongs to the class of medication called antibacterial agents primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections like acne (pimples). Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel is an organic compound with an irritant, keratolytic (remove warts, calluses), comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes), and anti-inflammatory activity. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.

Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel contains ‘Benzoyl Peroxide’ that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation and unplugs blocked pores. Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel decomposes to release oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen acts as a bactericidal agent and kills Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helping in peeling the skin and treating comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne). Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel also has a mild drying effect that allows excess oils and dirt to be washed away from the skin.

Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Do not use Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel on sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, swelling, blistering, crusting, and skin rash. If any of the side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel or its components. Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel can make the skin more sensitive in the sunlight; hence always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors. Care should be taken while applying Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel on sensitive areas, such as the neck. Avoid Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel contact with hair or fabrics since it has bleaching properties. Please limit the use of products that contain large amounts of alcohol (astringents, shaving creams or after-shave lotions), hair removal products, and products containing lime or spices while using Benzac Ac 2.5% Gel. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or a breastfeeding mother.
