Benzac Gel AC Gel Wash

Benzac Gel AC Gel Wash

Benzac AC Gel Wash is a medicated face wash marketed by Galderma India Pvt Ltd. It contains hydrous benzoyl peroxide equivalent to 5% w/w anhydrous benzoyl peroxide in an aqueous gel base with glycerol. It is used in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris on the face and body. Benzoyl peroxide releases oxygen into the pores, which kills the bacteria that cause red, swollen pimples. It also loosens dead skin cells and excess oil that block pores and lead to blackheads and whiteheads. As a wash, it is rinsed off after a short contact time, which makes it gentler than leave-on gels for many users. Glycerol in the base helps limit the dryness that benzoyl peroxide can cause. Results build up over several weeks of steady use. It can bleach hair, towels and clothing, so rinse carefully and use a white towel. It comes in a 100ml bottle and should be used as advised by a dermatologist.
