Benzac kills acnes bacteria

Benzac AC 5% Gel 15 gm

Benzac AC 5% Gel 15 gm belongs to the class of medication called ‘antibacterial agents' primarily used to treat bacterial skin using benzaclin and differin like acne (pimples). Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.

Benzac AC 5% Gel 15 gm contains ‘Benzoyl Peroxide’ that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation and unplugs blocked pores. Benzac AC 5% Gel 15 gm decomposes to release oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen acts as a bactericidal agent and kills Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. Benzac AC 5% Gel 15 gm increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helps in peeling the skin and treating comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne). Benzac AC 5% Gel 15 gm also has a mild drying effect that allows excess oils and dirt to be washed away from the skin.

Benzac AC 5% Gel 15 gm is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Do not use Benzac AC 5% Gel 15 gm on sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Benzac AC 5% Gel 15 gm include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, swelling, blistering, crusting, and skin rash.
