Aczone Gel (active ingredient: dapsone) is a prescription topical medication used to treat acne vulgaris in people aged 12 years and older.
It is applied directly to acne-prone areas of the skin. Aczone Gel can help reduce inflamed breakouts, improve existing acne, and lower the chance of new lesions forming when used regularly.
Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles and pores become blocked with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
Acne may appear on the:
The severity of acne can vary. Some people mainly develop blackheads and whiteheads, while others have red, swollen, painful, or pus-filled spots.
Aczone Gel may help treat several types of acne lesions, including:
Blackheads
Blackheads form when a blocked pore remains open. The material inside the pore reacts with air and becomes dark.
Whiteheads
Whiteheads develop when a blocked pore remains closed beneath the skin.
Papules
Papules are small, red, raised bumps caused by inflammation around a blocked pore.
Pustules
Pustules are inflamed pimples that contain pus. They may appear red and tender with a white or yellow centre.
Aczone Gel is especially useful for inflammatory acne, such as red bumps and pimples.
Aczone Gel belongs to a class of medications called sulfones. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
The exact way topical dapsone treats acne is not fully understood. It is believed to work by reducing inflammation in the skin and limiting processes that contribute to acne lesions.
By calming inflammation, Aczone Gel may help reduce:
Inflammation plays an important role in acne. When a pore becomes blocked, the surrounding skin may become red, swollen, and painful.
Aczone Gel helps reduce this inflammatory response. This can make acne lesions appear less red and feel less tender over time.
Dapsone also has antibacterial activity. It may help reduce the activity of bacteria associated with acne.
However, Aczone Gel does not work in exactly the same way as standard topical antibiotics. Its anti-inflammatory effect is considered an important part of how it improves acne.
With regular use, Aczone Gel may help:
Results vary from person to person. Some people may notice early improvement within several weeks, while fuller results may take longer.
Aczone Gel works best when it is applied consistently as directed.
Do not stop using it simply because improvement is not immediate. Acne treatment often requires several weeks before clear changes are visible.
Using more gel than prescribed will not make it work faster. Applying too much may increase dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation.
Aczone Gel may be used alone or together with other acne treatments, depending on the treatment plan.
A healthcare provider may recommend combining it with products such as:
When Aczone Gel is used at the same time as benzoyl peroxide, the skin or facial hair may temporarily develop a yellow or orange colour. This colour change is harmless and usually fades.
Your healthcare provider may recommend applying the products at different times of day to reduce this effect.
Aczone Gel should be applied to the entire acne-affected area rather than only to individual spots, unless your healthcare provider gives different instructions.
Applying it across the acne-prone area helps treat existing lesions and may help prevent new ones from developing.
Avoid applying the gel to:
Rinse thoroughly with water if the gel accidentally gets into the eyes or mouth.
Use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh scrubs, abrasive products, or strong alcohol-based toners. These products may increase irritation.
Choose moisturisers, sunscreens, and cosmetics labelled non-comedogenic or oil-free. These products are less likely to block pores.
Avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions because this can worsen inflammation and increase the risk of scars or dark marks.
Aczone Gel is often used for several weeks or months. A healthcare provider may assess the response after approximately 12 weeks and decide whether treatment should continue.
Acne may return if treatment is stopped. Some people may need longer-term therapy or a maintenance skin-care plan.
The treatment plan may depend on:
A healthcare provider may adjust the routine if the skin becomes too dry or irritated.
Only a small amount of dapsone is usually absorbed into the body when applied to the skin. However, serious effects are still possible in rare cases.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have:
Seek medical attention if you develop unusual tiredness, pale skin, shortness of breath, blue or grey lips or fingertips, a rapid heartbeat, or severe weakness.
Aczone Gel helps control acne while it is being used, but it does not permanently cure the condition.
The best results usually come from consistent treatment, gentle skin care, sun protection, and regular follow-up with a healthcare provider.
Contact a healthcare provider if your acne becomes worse, causes painful deep lumps, begins to scar, or does not improve after using Aczone Gel as directed.
Apply Aczone Gel exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. The 7.5% gel is usually applied once daily, while other strengths may have different dosing instructions.
Before applying the medication, wash your hands and gently clean the affected skin with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser. Rinse the skin thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Apply a thin layer of Aczone Gel to the entire acne-affected area rather than only to individual pimples. This helps treat current breakouts and may help reduce the formation of new acne lesions.
Gently spread the gel over the skin until it is evenly distributed. Wash your hands after applying the medication unless your hands are the area being treated.
Aczone Gel may be applied at any consistent time of day. Many people choose to apply it in the evening because it is easier to include in a regular skin-care routine.
The medication does not have to be applied at night unless your healthcare provider specifically recommends it. Try to use it at approximately the same time each day.
Regular use is important. Skipping applications may reduce the effectiveness of treatment.
Use only enough Aczone Gel to cover the affected skin with a thin layer. Applying a thick layer will not make the medication work faster.
Using too much gel may increase the risk of:
Do not apply the medication more often than prescribed.
Do not apply Aczone Gel to broken, cut, sunburned, infected, or severely irritated skin unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so.
Avoid applying the medication near the:
If the gel accidentally gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse the area thoroughly with water.
Aczone Gel is for external use only. Do not swallow it.
Aczone Gel may be used as part of a broader acne-treatment routine. Your healthcare provider may recommend using it with a moisturiser, sunscreen, topical retinoid, or another acne medication.
Allow the gel to dry before applying moisturiser, sunscreen, or cosmetics.
Use gentle, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic products when possible. Avoid harsh scrubs, abrasive cleansers, and alcohol-based toners because they may increase irritation.
Using Aczone Gel at the same time as benzoyl peroxide may temporarily cause yellow or orange discolouration of the skin or facial hair.
This colour change is harmless and usually fades after the products are washed off or stopped.
Your healthcare provider may recommend applying Aczone Gel and benzoyl peroxide at different times of day to reduce this effect.
Acne usually improves gradually. Some people may notice fewer inflamed pimples or less redness within several weeks.
It may take about 12 weeks of regular use to properly assess how well the treatment is working. Results vary depending on the type and severity of acne.
Continue using Aczone Gel as prescribed even if improvement is not immediate.
Do not stop using Aczone Gel too early unless you develop a serious reaction or your healthcare provider tells you to stop.
Acne may temporarily appear unchanged during the first few weeks. Consistent treatment is usually needed before noticeable improvement occurs.
A healthcare provider may review your skin after approximately 12 weeks and decide whether treatment should continue or be adjusted.
Apply the missed dose when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled application.
If the next application is due soon, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular routine.
Do not apply extra gel to make up for a missed application.
Mild dryness, redness, peeling, or stinging may occur when treatment begins. These effects may improve as the skin adjusts.
Using a gentle moisturiser may help reduce dryness and irritation.
Contact a healthcare provider if irritation becomes severe, painful, persistent, or causes blistering, swelling, or open sores.
Acne treatments and irritated skin may be more sensitive to sunlight.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning beds.
Do not apply Aczone Gel to severely sunburned skin until it has healed or a healthcare provider confirms that it is safe.
Contact a healthcare provider if:
These symptoms may require medical assessment or a change in treatment.
Aczone Gel (Dapsone Gel) is available in the following forms and strength:
Aczone Gel may cause an allergic reaction in some people.
Stop using the medication and seek immediate medical care if you develop:
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
There is limited information about the use of topical dapsone during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider will consider the possible benefits and risks before recommending treatment.
Avoid applying Aczone Gel directly to the breast or nipple area while breastfeeding to prevent the infant from coming into contact with the medication.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, nonprescription products, vitamins, herbal products, and supplements you use.
Aczone Gel may interact with medications that affect the blood or increase the risk of methemoglobinaemia, a condition that reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.
Blood thinners are not among the main recognised interactions with topical dapsone, but your healthcare provider should still know about all medications you take.
Rarely, Aczone Gel may cause methemoglobinaemia. The risk may be higher in people with certain blood conditions or those taking other medications that can cause the same problem.
Stop using Aczone Gel and seek immediate medical attention if you develop:
Aczone Gel is not generally known to directly cause significant sun sensitivity. However, acne-prone or irritated skin may still be more sensitive to sunlight, especially when other acne treatments are also being used.
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and avoid excessive sunlight or tanning beds.
Aczone Gel may cause mild dryness, redness, peeling, burning, or irritation, especially when treatment begins.
Use a gentle cleanser and a non-comedogenic moisturiser to help reduce dryness. Avoid harsh scrubs, strong exfoliants, and alcohol-based products.
Contact your healthcare provider if the irritation becomes severe, painful, persistent, or causes blistering, swelling, or open sores.
Aczone Gel is often assessed after about 12 weeks of regular use. Acne usually improves gradually, so results may not be noticeable right away. After 12 weeks, your healthcare provider will decide whether you should continue treatment, change your skin-care routine, or try another medication. Do not use Aczone Gel longer than recommended without medical advice.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant. There is limited information about the use of topical dapsone during pregnancy. Although only a small amount is usually absorbed through the skin, your healthcare provider should review the possible benefits and risks before recommending treatment. Do not assume that all topical acne medications are safe during pregnancy. Ask your healthcare provider to review your complete skin-care routine.
Yes. Aczone Gel is a prescription medication. A healthcare provider must assess your acne and determine whether topical dapsone is appropriate for you. Use the medication only as prescribed, and do not share it with anyone else.
