Important
When using Acnecide Benzoyl Peroxide treatments for the first time, or after a long break, it is important to read the instructions for use. You will need to build up usage carefully, starting with once-a-day application in the evening for the first few days. If your skin tolerates this, you can step up to twice daily application morning and evening.
Acnecide Benzoyl Peroxide spot treatment is also available in a wash-off format. You should not use both treatment formats at the same time. Choose which feels best for you and your skincare routine.
