Benzac AC

Uses
Benzac AC Wash (Benzoyl Peroxide) is a facial cleanser which can also treat acne. It works by unblocking the pores, getting rid of any excess oils and destroying bacteria. As well as this, it can lessen skin irritation by triggering the release of glycerine, a compound which is known to have moisturizing and emollient properties. The main ingredient in this face wash is categorized as an organic compound, and it can function as a peeling agent.

This means that by increasing the turnover (the shedding of old skin cells and their subsequent replacement with newly grown cells), it can help rid the face of spots. In addition to this, it can unclog the sebaceous glands, thereby reducing oiliness (which is known to contribute to acne spot formation). Lastly, its antibacterial action allows it to eliminate the bacteria which are known to trigger inflammation of the skin and spots. This helps to manage and treat acne, leading to an improvement in the appearance of the face and a decrease in discomfort.

Patients are normally told to apply water to the face first, and then to apply the solution. It should be gently rubbed until a lather is formed.
