Description
Acnecide Face Gel is a targeted acne treatment that contains 5% benzoyl peroxide, a powerful antibacterial agent that kills Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for causing acne. This lightweight gel works by penetrating deep into the skin to unclog pores, reduce excess oil, and prevent new spots from forming. It is designed for use on the face to treat mild to moderate acne, including spots, blackheads, and whiteheads. The gel is easy to apply and dries quickly, making it ideal for use as part of a daily skincare routine. With regular use, Acnecide Face Gel helps improve skin clarity and prevent further breakouts.
