Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% w/w, 30g Gel
SKU GME1209Skin Care
Product Introduction
Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% w/w gel treats acne, including inflamed pimples and blocked pores. It provides antibacterial acne treatment without being an antibiotic.
How to use
Start with a thin layer once daily on clean, dry acne-affected skin. Sensitive skin may tolerate an initial short contact time before washing off, then longer contact as tolerance develops. Keep away from the eyes, lips and damaged skin.
How it works
Benzoyl peroxide releases reactive oxygen that kills acne-associated bacteria. Its mild keratolytic action also helps remove material blocking the follicle.
Side effects
Dryness, peeling, redness and stinging are common, especially early on. Blistering, marked swelling or a severe rash suggests an allergic or excessive irritant reaction.
Important information
The gel can bleach hair, towels and coloured clothing. Avoid strong exfoliants and excessive sun exposure on irritated skin.
Uses
- Acne vulgaris with inflammatory lesions and comedones.
Benefits
Reduces acne bacteria and helps keep follicles clearer without relying on an antibiotic course.
What can help if benzoyl peroxide makes my skin dry or flaky?
A gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser can ease mild dryness. Reduce application frequency or pause treatment if irritation becomes troublesome. Marked redness, swelling or blistering needs medical assessment rather than further applications.
Does bacterial resistance develop in the same way as with antibiotics?
Benzoyl peroxide kills through oxidation, and antibiotic-type resistance has not been demonstrated in acne bacteria.
When should improvement become noticeable?
Some improvement commonly appears after several weeks, with a fuller response taking about two to three months.
Can it be applied to clothes-covered acne on the back?
It can be used on acne-affected body skin, but let it dry fully and use light-coloured fabrics because bleaching can occur.
Can it be layered with tretinoin at the same time?
Some tretinoin formulations can be degraded by benzoyl peroxide, and the combination can increase irritation. They are commonly separated into different application times unless formulated together.
