Persol Gel 2.5% (20 g)

Persol Gel 2.5% (20 g) is a topical acne medicine that contains benzoyl peroxide 2.5% in each tube of gel. It belongs to the acne treatment class and is used on the skin to help treat pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. Persol Gel 2.5% (20 g) is designed for local application, not for swallowing or use on broken skin unless a doctor tells you to. Wallace Pharmaceuticals, India supplies this pack as a strip/box of 10 tubes.

How it works: Benzoyl peroxide works by releasing oxygen in the skin, which helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and unclog pores. In gel form, Persol Gel 2.5% (20 g) spreads easily over affected skin and delivers the medicine directly where acne forms.

Persol Gel 2.5% (20 g) is the lower-strength option compared with Persol Gel 5% (20 g), and it is often chosen when a gentler start is preferred. The 2.5% gel may be better for people with sensitive skin or for those who want effective acne care with a lower chance of dryness, burning, or peeling than higher strengths. A doctor may select this strength when balancing acne control with skin tolerance.

• Acne vulgaris
• Whiteheads
• Blackheads
• Inflamed pimples
• Acne-prone skin as directed by a doctor

• Wash your hands before and after applying Persol Gel 2.5% (20 g).
• Clean and gently dry the affected skin before use.
• Apply a thin layer of the gel to the acne-affected area only, unless your doctor instructs otherwise.
• Avoid the eyes, lips, inside the nose, and other sensitive areas.
• Use it exactly as often as prescribed; many people apply it once daily at first to reduce irritation.
• Let it dry fully before putting on makeup, sunscreen, or other skin products.

Persol Gel 2.5% (20 g) provides benzoyl peroxide 2.5% strength in each tube, which is a lower-strength topical acne treatment. The doctor decides how often it should be used; it is commonly applied once or twice daily depending on skin tolerance and treatment goals. Do not use more often or in a larger amount than prescribed, because more frequent use can increase irritation without improving results.

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