Key Benefits
- Pernex AC 2.5% Gel contains ‘Benzoyl Peroxide’, an antibacterial medication used to treat bacterial skin infections like acne (pimples).
- It is an organic compound with an irritant, keratolytic (removes warts and calluses), comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes), and anti-inflammatory activity.
- Pernex AC 2.5% Gel kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unblocks clogged pores.
- It decomposes to release oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen acts as a bactericidal agent, killing Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that cause acne.
- Pernex AC 2.5% Gel increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helping in peeling the skin and treating comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne).
- Pernex AC 2.5% Gel also has a mild drying effect, allowing excess oils and dirt to be washed away from the skin.
