Acnecide Face Wash 5% Gel - 50g

Acnecide Face Wash treats mild acne on the face, shoulders, back, and chest. It contains benzoyl peroxide, which kills up to 95% of bacteria that cause spots. Small acrylate polymer beads in the face wash absorb excess oil and release glycerin to moisturise the skin. Acnecide Face Wash is good for mild acne with blackheads and whiteheads. It works on acne with no red or inflamed spots.

How to apply

• Acnecide Wash 5% w/w Gel should be used once or twice daily, over the affected skin areas. 
• Wet the area to be treated - Wash hands before use and place a small amount of Acnecide Wash Gel on to the hands to wash the affected area. 
• Contact time with the skin should be 1 to 2 minutes followed by thorough rinsing with water and drying. 
• After use, wash hands thoroughly and replace cap tightly. 
• When you first use Acnecide Face Wash Gel apply the once daily on alternate days, in the evening before going to bed. 
• You may feel mild burning and notice slight reddening and peeling of the skin during the first few days. If you have more severe redness, burning, irritation and peeling then you should stop treatment and let your skin go back to normal before restarting treatment. 
• If Acnecide Wash 5% w/w Gel does not affect your skin, or you have only mild burning and slight reddening and peeling after 2-3 days of use, you can apply twice a day, in the morning and evening. If this causes more skin symptoms (burning, irritation, redness, peeling) then you should go back to using it only once a day. If your skin becomes or remains more severely irritated after stopping, you should speak to your doctor.
