Question 2

Can I use Bengel AC 2.5% Gel to treat acne?

Dr Bayyarapu Kumar · Accepted Answer

Yes, Bengel AC 2.5% Gel can help manage mild to moderate acne by reducing the appearance of pimples and unclogging pores. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin. Be aware that it may cause dryness, redness, or peeling, and your skin can become more sensitive to sunlight, so using sunscreen is essential. Keep in mind that acne and skin reactions vary from person to person, and this Gel treats the symptoms rather than the underlying cause. If your acne is severe, painful, or does not improve, consult a dermatologist for further guidance.

Question 3

When to apply and how to use

Dr Bayyarapu Kumar · Accepted Answer

Bengel AC 2.5% Gel should be applied once daily to clean, dry skin on the affected areas, preferably in the evening; if well tolerated, the frequency may be gradually increased to two or three times daily as advised by a doctor. Apply a thin layer, avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin, and wash hands after use. If dryness or irritation occurs, reduce application to once daily or every other day, and discontinue use if symptoms worsen. Avoid combining with other acne products unless directed by a healthcare professional.
