Table of contents:

Benzac W Wash Topical Gel is a medication used to treat acne. It contains benzoyl peroxide, which works by reducing the amount of acne-causing bacteria and causing the skin to dry and peel. It is available in varying concentrations of 10% and is applied topically to the skin.

Use and Dosage

Benzac w wash topical gel comes as a gel to apply to the skin. It is usually applied twice a day, in the morning and evening. To help you remember to use clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide gel, apply it at around the same times every day.

To use Benzac W Wash Topical Gel for the treatment of acne, it is recommended to follow these steps:

  1. Wet the skin with warm water.
  2. Apply a small amount of the gel to your fingertips.
  3. Gently massage the gel onto the affected areas for 10-20 seconds.
  4. Rinse your skin thoroughly with water and pat dry.
  5. Apply a moisturizer if necessary.

Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, and mouth, and rinse the product off thoroughly if it comes into contact with these areas. Start with a lower concentration of benzoyl peroxide and gradually increase as tolerated to minimize the risk of skin irritation. As always, consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication or treatment.

Benzac W Wash Topical Gel can be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss an application, apply the medication as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next application, skip that missed dose and carry on with your regular schedule. Do not apply more often than prescribed by your doctor.
