Benzac AC 5% is a leave-on acne gel built around 5% benzoyl peroxide, a clinically proven ingredient that kills acne-causing bacteria and helps unclog blocked pores, blackheads and whiteheads. It is a moderate-strength, pharmacy-style treatment aimed at mild to moderate acne, applied once daily at first and increased to twice daily if skin tolerates it. Improvement usually takes 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use. Against rival benzoyl peroxide gels, the 5% strength sits in the middle of the usual 2.5% to 10% range, trading some gentleness for more punch than low-strength formulas.

Benzac AC 5% is a moderate strength acne gel with 5% benzoyl peroxide. It kills the bacteria on the skin that cause acne and unplugs blocked pores, including blackheads and whiteheads. It is intended for mild to moderate acne.
Wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat dry. Apply a thin layer once daily at first. If the skin tolerates it, use can be increased to twice daily. Avoid the eyes, mouth, lips and nostrils. Improvement is typically seen after 4 to 8 weeks of regular use.
Benzoyl peroxide may bleach hair, clothing and bedding, so let the gel dry fully before it touches fabric. It may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, so apply sunscreen to treated areas during the day. Dryness, peeling, redness and stinging may occur, especially at the start of treatment.
