Acnecide 5% Gel Benzoyl Peroxide – 30g is an effective treatment for mild to moderate acne, working to reduce acne-causing bacteria and prevent new breakouts. The gel helps clear pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads while reducing excess oil on the skin.

Acnecide 5% Gel Benzoyl Peroxide is a proven acne treatment designed to fight the root cause of acne by targeting the bacteria responsible for breakouts. With 5% benzoyl peroxide, this gel works to kill acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and dry out excess oil on the skin. It also helps prevent new spots from forming by keeping pores clean. Suitable for use on the face, back, and chest, Acnecide Gel is ideal for people with mild to moderate acne. The lightweight formula is easy to apply and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and clear.
