Acnecide Acne Treatment Gel, 30g
Acnecide Topical Aqueous Gel is a medicine used externally to treat acne, a common inflammatory skin disease. The active drug composition of this topical gel is Benzoyl Peroxide, an effective therapeutic drug.
Acnecide gel helps to treat acne by attacking the bacteria that causes the condition, helping to keep skin clear. It works to reduce the effects of acne and allow the skin to return to its natural, smooth state, so you can feel confident in your skin.
Acnecide Acne Treatment Gel kills the bacterium that causes acne to help achieve clear skin. In addition, it removes excess oils and dirt from the skin, thereby preventing its recurrence.
Although acne cannot be cured, it can be controlled with treatment Acnecide acne products
The medicine is used to treat acne on the face, chest, and back.
Types of Acne or spots Acnecide can be used for
- blackheads – small black or yellowish bumps that develop on the skin; they’re not filled with dirt, but are black because the inner lining of the hair follicle produces colour
- whiteheads – have a similar appearance to blackheads, but may be firmer and will not empty when squeezed
- papules – small red bumps that may feel tender or sore
- pustules – similar to papules, but have a white tip in the centre, caused by a build-up of pus
- nodules – large hard lumps that build up beneath the surface of the skin and can be painful
Self-help techniques useful for Acne Control
- Do not wash affected areas of skin more than twice a day. Frequent washing can irritate the skin and make symptoms worse.
- Wash the affected area with a mild soap or cleanser and lukewarm water. Very hot or cold water can make acne worse.
- Do not try to “clean out” blackheads or squeeze spots. This can make them worse and cause permanent scarring.
- Avoid using too much make-up and cosmetics. Use water-based products that are described as non-comedogenic. This means the product is less likely to block the pores in your skin.
- Completely remove make-up before going to bed.
- If dry skin is a problem, use a fragrance-free water-based emollient.
- Regular exercise cannot improve your acne, but it can boost your mood and improve your self-esteem. Shower as soon as possible once you finish exercising as sweat can irritate your acne.
- Wash your hair regularly and try to avoid letting your hair fall across your face.
