What is acne?

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages.

What is Acnecide and what is it used for?

Acnecide is a medication containing the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide, which is used to treat acne. It works by attacking the bacteria Cutibacterium acnes, which is one of the main causes of acne. This medication can be used to treat acne on the face, chest, or back.

Can Acnecide be used with other acne products?

Acnecide should not be used with other acne products unless directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Using multiple acne products may cause the skin to become red and sore.

Can Acnecide be used while pregnant or breastfeeding?

The use of Acnecide while pregnant or breastfeeding should be determined by a doctor. If use is recommended, the gel should not be applied to the chest to avoid exposure of a child.
