Acnecide Gel contains an active ingredient called benzoyl peroxide 5% which attacks the bacteria that cause acne. It’s used for acne treatment either on the face, chest or back.
What is it?
Acnecide Gel has a main active ingredient called benzoyl peroxide which attacks the bacteria known as propionibacterium acnes, which is one of the most common culprits behind acne outbreaks in teenagers and adults.
How does it work?
Acnecide Gel, as previously mentioned, contains benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide has an antibacterial effect. Additionally, it has a sort of drying effect, which causes excess oil and dirt to be easily washed away from the skin.
It generally takes anywhere from 5-7 weeks of continuous usage to see major results and improvements.
What is it used for?
Acnecide Gel, as a topical acne medication, is used in treatment of acne outbreaks, either in children or adults. Benzoyl peroxide neutralises the bacteria (propionibacterium acnes) that cause acne to form.
It also allows the top layer of the skin to shed easily, revealing the lower layers where most of the excess oil and dirt are trapped. Both of which cause an inflammation of the skin and redness on the same part of the skin where an acne outbreak is happening. Thus, in turn, allowing acne papules to break down and unblocking microscopic exocrine glands in the skin, and letting the skin get rid of the trapped excess oil.
Usage and dosage
Do not, under any circumstance, use Acnecide Gel if you’re allergic to benzoyl peroxide or any other component of this medicine. Read the provided manufacturer’s printed leaflet, that comes with the medicine, and look for the full list of ingredients.
Do not take this medicine if you have extremely sensitive skin. Benzoyl peroxide can cause serious allergic reactions or severe skin irritation.
Use Acnecide Gel exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as directed on the label.
It’s for the use on the skin only. Be extra careful and avoid getting it in your mouth, nose or eyes. If you accidentally apply the gel to any of these places, rinse it out thoroughly with water.
Make sure to wash your hands before applying this medicine. Apply Acnecide Gel in a thin layer to the affected skin area and rub it in gently.
Do not cover treated parts of the skin, unless instructed by your doctor to do so. Do not apply the gel to damaged areas of the skin with cuts and scrapes.
Continue with the treatment until the end of the medication period, even if your symptoms improve.
