Question 3

Accepted Answer

The primary active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide at a 5% w/w concentration in a water-based gel, combined with copolymer microspheres that help manage sebum and hydration.

Question 4

How does Acnecide Gel work to clear breakouts?

It delivers a dual-action effect. First, it kills the Cutibacterium acnes bacteria inside the pores to stop inflammation. Second, it acts as a keratolytic agent to break down dead skin cells and unblock plugged pores.

Question 5

Cleanse the area with a mild, soap-free wash and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of gel to the entire acne-affected area (not just individual spots). Wash your hands thoroughly afterward to prevent bleaching fabrics.
