Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide) is a powerful acne-fighting medication that works by killing bacteria and unclogging pores without drying out the skin. With its effective formula, it helps to reduce acne and prevent future breakouts, making it a must-have for clear and healthy skin.

How to use it

More Information

Which strength should I start with?

Always start with 2.5% to test your skin's tolerance. Studies show 2.5% is as effective as higher strengths but with less irritation. You can gradually increase to 5% or 10% if needed after 2-4 weeks, but many users find 2.5% sufficient.

Why is my skin getting worse before better?

Some users experience an initial "purge" period where acne temporarily worsens as Benzac brings deep pimples to the surface. This typically occurs in weeks 1-3 and indicates the treatment is working. Improvement follows after week 4.

Can I use Benzac with other acne treatments?

Yes, but introduce products slowly. Benzac works well with salicylic acid (use at different times) and retinoids (alternate nights). Avoid using with other drying agents initially. Always moisturize to combat dryness.

Will Benzac bleach my skin?

No, Benzoyl Peroxide doesn't bleach skin pigmentation. However, it can bleach fabrics, hair, and eyebrows on contact. Use white linens during treatment and wash hands thoroughly after application. Your natural skin color remains unchanged.
