Bengel AC 2.5% Gel

Bengel AC 2.5% Gel is a topical acne treatment from Hegde and Hegde Pharmaceutica LLP, India, supplied in a 30 g tube. Each gram contains benzoyl peroxide 2.5% w/w in a clear gel base.

Benzoyl peroxide is one of the best-known medicines for acne vulgaris. It releases oxygen on the skin, which is harmful to the bacteria that take part in acne, and it also helps loosen dead skin so that pores are less likely to clog.

The 2.5% strength is a lower concentration, chosen when a gentler start is wanted, especially for sensitive skin or for people who are new to benzoyl peroxide. It is applied only to the affected areas and works over several weeks.

Some dryness, redness or peeling is common at first. Avoid the eyes, mouth and broken skin, and keep the gel away from coloured fabrics, hair and towels because benzoyl peroxide can bleach them. Use a sunscreen outdoors and follow your doctor advice on how long to continue.

Always buy prescription medicines only against a valid prescription and keep them in the original pack with the batch number and expiry date visible. Check the expiry date before each use, never share your medicine with another person, and tell your doctor about all other medicines, supplements or skin products you use so that interactions can be avoided. If you notice an unusual reaction, stop the product and seek medical advice promptly.

Persol Forte Cream

Persol Forte Cream

Persol Forte Cream is a greaseless acne cream from Wallace Pharmaceuticals, India, supplied in a 30 g tube. It combines precipitated sulphur with hydrous benzoyl peroxide, two long-used ingredients for acne vulgaris.

Benzoyl peroxide reduces the bacteria that feed breakouts and helps open blocked pores. Sulphur has a mild drying and peeling action that helps absorb excess oil and clear whiteheads and blackheads. Used together they target both the cause and the look of pimples.

The non-greasy base spreads thinly and suits oily and combination skin. Benzoic acid and methylparaben are added as preservatives to keep the cream stable in the tube.

Apply a thin layer on the affected areas, starting once a day and building up if the skin allows. Mild dryness, redness or peeling is common early on. Keep the cream away from the eyes, lips and broken skin, and avoid letting it touch coloured fabrics, since benzoyl peroxide can bleach them. Use sunscreen by day and stop use if irritation becomes strong.

Check the batch number and expiry date on the carton before first use and keep the product in its original packaging. Introduce one new active product at a time so you can tell how your skin responds, and avoid combining it with harsh scrubs or other strong exfoliants on the same day. If you notice swelling, rash or lasting burning, rinse the area with water, stop using the product and speak to a doctor.

Topmycin Gel

Topmycin Gel

Topmycin Gel is a topical antibiotic gel from Caryota Life Sciences, India, supplied in a 20 g tube. Each gram carries azithromycin 2% w/w, a macrolide antibiotic that is applied directly to the skin.

Azithromycin helps control the bacteria linked to acne and also has an anti-inflammatory effect, so it can calm red, swollen pimples. Because it is applied on the skin and not swallowed, the medicine acts where it is needed.

The gel base spreads easily and dries without a heavy feel, which makes it comfortable for facial use. Doctors usually advise a thin layer once or twice a day on the affected area, and the length of treatment depends on how the skin responds.

Mild dryness, itching or redness can occur at the start. Keep the gel away from the eyes and mouth and wash your hands after applying. Do not share the tube, and do not use it for longer than your doctor advises, since antibiotics work best when used correctly. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an allergy to macrolide antibiotics.

Brevoxyl Cream

Brevoxyl Cream is a topical acne medicine from Torrent Pharmaceuticals, India, supplied in a 20 g tube. Each gram contains benzoyl peroxide 4% w/w, a well-established ingredient for treating acne vulgaris.

Benzoyl peroxide works in two ways. It reduces the acne-causing bacteria that live on the skin, and it has a mild peeling action that helps clear blocked pores. Together this lowers the number of inflamed pimples and helps prevent new ones from forming.

The 4% strength is a moderate one, often chosen so the skin can adjust gradually. It is applied as a thin layer once or twice a day as directed by the doctor, only on the affected areas.

Some dryness, redness, peeling or mild stinging is common during the first weeks. Benzoyl peroxide can bleach hair, towels and pillowcases, so apply it carefully. Avoid the eyes, lips and inside of the nose, and use a sunscreen in the daytime. This is a prescription medicine, so follow your doctor for the duration of use and do not combine it with other acne products unless advised.
