Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and Application
- Cleanse: Gently wash the affected facial area with a mild cleanser and pat dry thoroughly.
- Apply: Squeeze a small, pea-sized amount of Acnecide Face Gel onto your fingertip.
- Distribute: Apply a thin, even layer of the gel over all affected areas of the face, not just individual spots. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nostrils, and any irritated or broken skin.
- Leave On: Allow the gel to absorb fully. Do not rinse off. Wash your hands thoroughly after application.
Initially, apply once daily. If well tolerated, you may increase to twice daily. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin for a few days before widespread use to check for sensitivity.
Compatibility
Acnecide Face Gel is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over suffering from mild facial spots and acne. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have very sensitive skin. Avoid using alongside other topical acne treatments unless advised by a doctor, as this may increase irritation. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using this product, as Benzoyl Peroxide can increase sun sensitivity.
Care and Storage
- Storage: Store the gel at room temperature, below 25°C. Keep out of reach and sight of children.
- Sun Protection: Due to increased skin sensitivity to the sun, always apply a non-comedogenic sunscreen with a high SPF daily.
- Fabric Care: Benzoyl Peroxide can bleach fabrics, including clothing, towels, and bedding. Allow the gel to dry completely before contact with textiles, and consider using white towels/pillowcases.
- Hair Care: Take care when applying, as it can also bleach hair (including eyebrows).
