Inclusive of all taxesBengel AC 2.5% Gel 30 gm belongs to the class of medication called ‘antibacterial agents' primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections like acne (pimples). Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.
Bengel AC 2.5% Gel 30 gm contains ‘Benzoyl Peroxide’ that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation and unplugs blocked pores. Bengel AC 2.5% Gel 30 gm 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. Bengel AC 2.5% Gel 30 gm increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helps in peeling the skin and treating comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne). Bengel AC 2.5% Gel 30 gm also has a mild drying effect that allows excess oils and dirt to be washed away from the skin.
