About ZYLO AC 2.5% GEL
ZYLO AC 2.5% GEL is used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as acne (pimples). Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
ZYLO AC 2.5% GEL contains ‘Benzoyl Peroxide’ that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation and unplugs blocked pores.
Common side effects of ZYLO AC 2.5% GEL include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, swelling, blistering, crusting, and skin rash. Most of these side effects are temporary and gradually resolve over time. However, consult the doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
ZYLO AC 2.5% GEL is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and nose. If the medicine comes into contact with any of these areas, rinse the area immediately with water. Do not use ZYLO AC 2.5% GEL on sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin.
Your skin may become more sensitive to sunlight; therefore, always use sunscreen and protective clothing before stepping outdoors. Care should be taken while applying ZYLO AC 2.5% GEL on sensitive areas, such as the neck. Please avoid contact with ZYLO AC 2.5% GEL on hair or fabrics, as it has bleaching properties. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or a breastfeeding mother.

Medicinal Benefits
- ZYLO 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.
- ZYLO 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.
- ZYLO 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).
- ZYLO AC 2.5% GEL also has a mild drying effect, allowing excess oils and dirt to be washed away from the skin.
