Acnecide 5% w/w Gel 15g
Acnecide 5% w/w Gel 15g is a targeted acne treatment containing 5% benzoyl peroxide, an established ingredient for treating mild to moderate acne. It works directly on the skin to help reduce acne-causing bacteria while helping to clear blocked pores and prevent new blemishes from developing.
The lightweight gel is designed for use on acne-prone areas, helping to reduce the appearance of spots, blackheads, and whiteheads with regular use. Benzoyl peroxide also has exfoliating properties, helping remove dead skin cells that can contribute to blocked pores.
Acnecide is particularly suitable for people looking for an effective treatment for persistent blemishes, spots, and acne-prone skin. As benzoyl peroxide can cause dryness or irritation, it is important to introduce the product gradually and use a suitable moisturiser alongside it.
