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.
