Acnecide 5% (60g)

Description

Acnecide 5% Gel is a medicinal cream which treats acne and spots while helping prevent future flare-ups.

The active ingredient, benzoyl peroxide, works by killing almost all the bacteria responsible for causing your spots. Acnecide also helps absorb excess oil and nourishes the skin with glycerine – a natural moisturiser.

Ingredients:

Hydrous Benzoyl Peroxide equivalent to Benzoyl Peroxide 5% w/w.

Usage and Instructions:

This gel should be applied directly on the sight of the acne.

Do not apply it excessively as this may cause irritation. After applying the gel for the first time, you may feel a mild burning sensation, reddening skin, or peeling. This is normal and will lessen after several days of use. Speak to your doctor if these symptoms worsen.

Avoid using this gel in direct sunlight or under sunlamps, as it increases the skin’s sensitivity to the sun.

Warnings:

Do not use Acnecide Cream if you are allergic to benzoyl peroxide. This may cause an allergic reaction like rash or itching.

Avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, angles of your nose, and other sensitive areas of your body. If it accidentally gets in your eyes, immediately wash out with water.

Avoid repeated exposure to direct sunlight, or other sources of UV light. Contact with coloured material (hair or clothing) may cause the object to lose colour and result in bleaching or discolouration.If your acne flare ups do not subside after several days of using this product, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not use this cream at the same time as other acne treatments that cause peeling, irritation, and dryness.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not use Acnecide washes or gels.

Do not apply Acnecide washes or gels to your chest if you are breastfeeding.

You should not use medicines that cause peeling, irritation, or dryness at the same times as Acnecide Cream.
