Acnecide + Purifide Face Wash Spot Treatment with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide 50g

Acnecide + Purifide Face Wash Spot Treatment with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide (50g) is an effective wash-off treatment for mild facial acne.

Formulated with Benzoyl Peroxide to effectively kill up to 95% of the bacteria which cause spots, it also contains Microsphere Technology, which helps absorb excess oil while releasing Glycerine, an active hydrating agent that ensures skin stays moisturised and unbeatably smooth. The intensive formula also helps to unclog less irritated pores, helping to reduce the appearance of white and blackheads.

Directions of use:

• Wet skin and gently rub a small amount of the wash on to the affected areas to form a lather. Leave on the skin for 1-2 minutes then rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry.
• Apply wash once or twice a day to all affected areas of the face avoiding contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes, mouth, nose lining and neck.
• Start by using this product on alternate days to minimise this risk and then gradually increase the frequency up to twice a day use if tolerated.

Hazards and Precautions:

• For application to the face only.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, eyelids, lips and other delicate areas of skin.
• Suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age with mild facial acne.
• Do not use with other acne treatments and Benzoyl Peroxide products unless advised by your doctor.
• Always read the label and leaflet before use.
• Do not use if you have any inflamed spots or larger lumps on your face, because you may have more severe acne and you should see your pharmacist or doctor for advice.
