Wash off well with water and pat dry, before applying a light moisturiser. If, after three days, you’ve felt no discomfort, apply in the evening and leave overnight before washing off. After seven days, if there’s no redness or peeling, and your condition has not improved, use twice daily, morning and night.
Acne treatment gel that kills up to 94% of the bacteria that causes acne*.
When using active ingredients to treat spots and acne, your skin barrier can become more sensitive. It is not recommended to use other skincare products that can have irritating or exfoliant effects at the same time.
Using the right cleansers and moisturisers alongside your treatment can help support your skin's tolerance to the treatment by helping maintain a balanced skin barrier, protecting and hydrating your skin.

Benzac AC treatments are powered by the active ingredient, Benzoyl Peroxide.
Benzoyl Peroxide has exfoliant and pore-unblocking properties, which help to reduce comedones: the technical dermatology name for blocked pores, A.K.A. blackheads and whiteheads.
Benzac AC Treatment products combine the Benzoyl Peroxide active with our Acrylates Copolymer technology, which helps absorb excess oil while delivering glycerine to help keep your skin hydrated.
Glycerin helps to minimise dryness that can be a result of treating acne prone skin.
