FAQs

Can I spot-treat? It’s more effective to apply a thin layer across the whole affected area to help prevent new spots. Makeup? Yes. Allow the gel to dry completely, then apply non-comedogenic makeup. When will I see results? Many people notice improvements after a few weeks of consistent use; maximum benefit can take longer.

Always read the label and the patient information leaflet. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice.

 

How to Use

  1. Cleanse the affected skin gently and pat dry.
  2. Apply a thin layer of gel to the entire affected area (not just individual spots).
  3. Wash hands after application.

Dosage & Regimen

Patch test first: Apply a small amount to a limited area once daily for 2–3 days. If no excessive irritation occurs, follow the regimen below.

  • Week 1 (start low & slow): Apply once daily at night.
  • From Week 2: Increase to twice daily (morning and night) if needed and tolerated.
  • Dryness/irritation: Reduce to once daily or every other day until skin adjusts.
  • Moisturiser: You may use a non-comedogenic moisturiser after the gel has fully dried.
  • Expected response: Visible improvement may take several weeks of consistent use.

Tip: Apply sunscreen in the daytime. Benzoyl peroxide can increase sun sensitivity.

Warnings & Precautions

  • External use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, inside of nose, broken or irritated skin. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Irritation is possible. Redness, dryness, peeling, or a warm/tingling sensation may occur—especially when starting. If severe irritation, swelling, blistering, or burning occurs, stop use and seek medical advice.
  • Bleaching risk: May bleach hair, fabrics, towels, and bedding. Allow to dry fully before dressing and use white linens if possible.
  • Sun sensitivity: Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure. Do not use with tanning beds/lamps.
  • Concurrent products: Take care when combining with other acne treatments (e.g., retinoids, AHAs/BHAs) as irritation can increase.
  • Allergy: Do not use if you are allergic to benzoyl peroxide or any ingredients in the product.
  • Children: Not generally recommended under 12 years unless advised by a healthcare professional.
  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare professional before use. Avoid application to the chest if breastfeeding.
  • If no improvement after 6–8 weeks of correct use, consult a pharmacist or doctor.

Storage
