Topical rinse-off treatment for mild acne affecting the face.
Format and Ingredients
Gel containing:
Benzoyl Peroxide 5% w/w
Dosage
12 years and over: when first used, apply once daily to cover the acne-affected skin areas before going to bed. Wet the area to be treated, apply the gel to the hands and wash the affected area with the gel. Contact time with the skin should be 1-2 minutes, followed by thorough rinsing with water and gentle drying. After 2-3 days, if the treatment is well tolerated, application can be increased to twice daily, in the morning and evening. The extent of any drying or peeling can be adjusted by modifying the dosage schedule. Using a moisturiser after application can help to reduce any irritation the treatment may cause.
