Acnox 2.5 Gel

Acnox 2.5 Gel is a benzoyl peroxide acne treatment in gel form, supplied as 2.5 g per tube in a strip/box of 10 tubes. Benzoyl peroxide is an acne-fighting topical medicine used to help clear pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Acnox 2.5 Gel is applied directly to the skin to treat mild to moderate acne by reducing acne-causing bacteria and helping unclog pores. It is manufactured by Dermo Care Laboratories.

How it works: Benzoyl peroxide works on the skin by releasing oxygen, which helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and calm clogged pores. In gel form, Acnox 2.5 Gel spreads easily over the affected area so the medicine can work directly where acne forms.

Acnox 2.5 Gel contains 2.5 g of benzoyl peroxide in each tube, which is a lower-strength acne option compared with stronger benzoyl peroxide products. This strength is often chosen for people with sensitive skin, for first-time use, or when a doctor wants a gentler gel that may cause less dryness and irritation while still treating acne effectively.

• Mild to moderate acne
• Blackheads
• Whiteheads
• Inflamed pimples
• Acne-prone skin

• Wash the affected skin gently and pat it dry before applying Acnox 2.5 Gel.
• Apply a thin layer to the acne-affected area only, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Use it exactly as prescribed; do not apply more often or in a thicker layer to speed results.
• Avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils, and broken or irritated skin.
• Wash your hands after applying unless the hands are the treated area.
• If dryness or peeling occurs, your doctor may advise using it less often at first.

Acnox 2.5 Gel provides 2.5 g of benzoyl peroxide per tube, and the amount used on the skin depends on the size of the area being treated. It is usually applied once or twice daily, but the exact schedule and maximum daily use should be set by your doctor for your skin condition.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Benzoyl Peroxide may include:

• Mild skin dryness
• Redness at the application site
• Peeling or flaking skin
• Burning or stinging feeling
• Itching
• Mild skin irritation, which can be more noticeable if the skin is sensitive

• For external use only; do not swallow Acnox 2.5 Gel.
• Use extra caution if you have sensitive skin, eczema, or very dry skin because irritation can happen even with this lower strength.
• Avoid using it on sunburned, windburned, or broken skin unless your prescriber says it is okay.
• It can bleach hair, fabric, towels, and bedding, so let the gel dry fully before contact with clothing or linens.
• Avoid getting the gel in your eyes, mouth, or nose; rinse well with water if accidental contact occurs.
• If irritation is strong, ask your doctor whether to reduce frequency rather than stopping on your own.
• Do not layer it with harsh scrubs or alcohol-heavy skin products unless your clinician approves.

• Other acne products that may increase dryness or irritation, such as topical retinoids or salicylic acid
• Astringents or alcohol-based skin products
• Harsh exfoliants or abrasive cleansers
• Medicinal soaps or cleansers that can over-dry the skin
• Topical antibiotics or acne regimens if your doctor wants a combined plan

Store Acnox 2.5 Gel at room temperature, keep the tube tightly closed, and protect it from excess heat and direct sunlight.
