Common use
Benzac is primarily indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris, including both inflammatory papules and pustules, as well as non-inflammatory comedones (blackheads and whiteheads). It is commonly prescribed for individuals aged 12 and older who experience mild to moderate acne on the face, chest, or back. The product may also be used as maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence after initial clearance.
Dosage and direction
Apply a thin layer of Benzac gel to affected areas once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Begin with once-daily application to assess tolerance, preferably in the evening. Cleanse the skin gently with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser and pat dry before application. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, mucous membranes, and broken skin. Use sunscreen during daytime, as benzoyl peroxide may increase photosensitivity.
Precautions
- Conduct a patch test on a small area of skin (e.g., behind the ear) before full application to check for sensitivity or allergic reaction.
- Do not use on sunburned, windburned, or irritated skin.
- Avoid concomitant use with other potentially drying or irritating topical products (e.g., alcohol-based toners, abrasive scrubs).
- Discontinue use if excessive dryness, peeling, or severe erythema occurs.
- Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a physician.
Contraindications
Benzac is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to benzoyl peroxide or any other component of the formulation. It should not be used by individuals with a history of allergic contact dermatitis to peroxide compounds. Avoid use in patients with severe cystic or nodular acne without medical supervision.
Possible side effects
Common side effects may include mild dryness, peeling, erythema, and a temporary sensation of burning or stinging upon application. These effects typically subside with continued use as the skin acclimates. Less frequently, patients may experience itching, swelling, or blistering. In rare cases, allergic contact dermatitis may occur, necessitating discontinuation.
Drug interaction
Benzac may interact with other topical acne medications containing sulfur, resorcinol, salicylic acid, or tretinoin, potentially increasing skin irritation. Concurrent use with topical antibiotics like clindamycin may enhance efficacy but should be supervised. Avoid using with products containing dyes or perfumes, as these may exacerbate sensitivity.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, apply as soon as remembered. However, if it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Do not apply extra gel to compensate for a missed application.
Overdose
Overapplication of Benzac may lead to severe skin irritation, excessive redness, peeling, or discomfort. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention immediately. Topical overdose should be managed by discontinuing use, gently cleansing the area, and applying a bland emollient. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15–30°C). Keep the tube tightly closed and away from direct sunlight, heat, or moisture. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Discard any expired product appropriately.

Reviews
Clinical studies and user reports consistently highlight Benzac’s efficacy in reducing acne lesions and improving skin clarity. In a 12-week trial, 85% of participants showed significant improvement in acne severity. Users frequently note a reduction in breakouts within the first two weeks, though some report initial dryness that resolves with moisturizer use. Dermatologists often recommend Benzac for its reliable antibacterial action and non-comedogenic properties.
