View company portfolio →What Benoxyl (Benzoyl peroxide) is used for
Benzoyl peroxide is an acne medicine that you put on your skin. It acts as an antiseptic: it cuts down the bacteria on the skin that are linked to spots, and it helps clear away dead skin that blocks pores. This treats spots you already have and helps stop new ones forming. It comes as a gel, cream, lotion or face wash. It is also mixed with other acne medicines, such as the antibiotic clindamycin or the retinoid adapalene; these combination products are prescription medicines.
- Mild to moderate acne, where it is often one of the first treatments tried
- Blackheads, whiteheads and pimples on the face, chest or back
- As part of a combination product with clindamycin (an antibiotic) or adapalene (a retinoid), when a doctor prescribes it
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department straight away for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the eyes, face, lips, tongue or throat, a tight throat or trouble swallowing, wheezing or difficulty breathing, blue, grey or pale lips or skin, or feeling faint. These rare reactions can start within minutes of using the product, or some time later.
- Stop using it if you get hives or itching of the face or body, and speak to a doctor or pharmacist.
- Stop using it and contact a doctor if the treated skin swells up or blisters.
- Stop and get medical advice for severe burning, redness, peeling or soreness, or irritation that does not settle after a short break or that keeps getting worse.
