BENZO 5% (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5% w/w))

Benzo 5% Gel is formulated to address bacterial skin conditions such as acne, which arises when hair follicles become obstructed by oil and dead cells. The active ingredient, Benzoyl Peroxide, acts effectively to eliminate bacteria, lessen inflammation, and clear clogged pores. Upon application, Benzo 5% Gel breaks down to release oxygen, which serves as an antibacterial agent, specifically targeting Propionibacterium acnes, the primary bacteria responsible for acne. This gel also promotes a quicker turnover of epithelial cells, aiding in the exfoliation of the skin and the treatment of comedones—small, skin-colored bumps associated with acne. Additionally, Benzo 5% Gel has a gentle drying property that helps remove excess oils and impurities from the skin’s surface. It is intended strictly for external application. Users must avoid applying it near the eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, and nose. In the event of contact, immediate rinsing with water is necessary. The product should not be applied to sunburnt, windburnt, dry, or otherwise irritated skin. It’s crucial to inform your healthcare provider of any other medications or supplements you are taking prior to using Benzo 5% Gel. Furthermore, this gel may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, so it is advisable to use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors. Extra caution should be exercised when applying it to sensitive regions, like the neck. Users should avoid contact with hair and fabrics, as the gel has bleaching properties. While using Benzo 5% Gel, it is best to limit the use of products containing high alcohol content, such as certain astringents and shaving items, as well as hair removal and products with lime or spices. It is vital to discuss with your physician if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
