The Pernex AC 5% Gel contains Benzoyl Peroxide. Benzoyl Peroxide kills the bacteria on the skin that cause acne and unplugs blocked pores (blackheads and whiteheads). Benzoyl Peroxide acne cream is a gel-based formula for treating mild to moderate acne. The Acrylates Copolymer beads absorb excess oil leading to a clear skin and reduces skin irritation. Directions of use: 1) Wash the affected area with a mild skin cleanser and water and pat skin dry. 2) Apply a thin film of Pernex AC to the affected areas once daily, leaving on the skin for 2 hours then washing it off with water then pat skin dry. 3) Apply a light moisturiser which won’t clog pores. Note: You can also apply Pernex AC in the evening and leave it on all night. Use under medical supervision.
