Benzac AC Gel is utilized for the treatment of acne. This gel possesses antibacterial properties and also provides a mild drying effect, facilitating the easy removal of excess oils and dirt from the skin.
Use exactly as instructed on the label or as advised by your healthcare provider. Avoid using larger or smaller amounts than recommended or extending the duration of use.
Before and after applying Benzac AC Gel, wash your hands. Cleanse and gently pat dry the area of skin that will be treated. Apply a thin layer of Benzac AC Gel and rub it in gently.
Do not cover the treated area unless advised by your doctor. Benzac AC Gel is typically applied one to three times a day. Adhere to your doctor's recommendations. This gel may bleach hair or fabrics, so avoid contact with these materials. It may take several weeks to notice improvements in your symptoms. Continue using Benzac AC Gel as directed and inform your doctor if your symptoms do not improve. If you forget a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it's near the time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not use extra medicine to compensate for a missed dose.
Get immediate medical assistance if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, trouble breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. If you encounter severe stinging or burning sensations on your skin, discontinue use of Benzac AC Gel and contact your doctor right away.
Potentially less severe side effects may include mild stinging or burning, itching or tingling sensations, skin dryness, peeling or flaking, as well as redness or other forms of irritation.
