Overview Benzac AC 2.5% Gel

Clearasil Acne Treatment Gel (2.5% benzoyl peroxide) combats acne bacteria, targeting blemishes on the face, back, and chest. This topical medication eliminates acne-causing microbes and can be used independently or in conjunction with other acne therapies. Always adhere to your doctor's instructions and the included patient information leaflet for optimal results. Apply to clean, dry skin once or twice daily, avoiding broken skin and contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. Improvement may take weeks; continue use as directed. After one month, consult your physician if your acne persists. Common, generally mild side effects include skin irritation (redness, itching, peeling, stinging). Inform your doctor if these are bothersome or persistent; dosage adjustment may be necessary. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure, or apply the gel at night. Avoid contact with hair and clothing due to potential bleaching. While generally safe, disclose any other skin conditions or medications (especially topical ones) to your doctor, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should discuss use with their doctor.
