We’ve taken ingredients – benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and our own AC technology (acrylates copolymer; that is, tiny beads that absorb sebum) to form a combination that combats the culprit of acne – bacteria.

The active ingredient benzoyl peroxide first delivers the antibacterial action needed to kill off the acne-causing bacteria that has multiplied. This reduces the inflammation and removes dead skin cells that are clogging your pores.

Then, within the same treatment application, our AC technology acts like a sponge on your skin, making sure any excess oil is fully absorbed. After that, the glycerine properties of the AC technology helps to reduce dryness and hydrate your skin.

Benzac AC 2.5% Gel and Benzac AC 5% Gel are the products within the Benzac range that contain BPO. The treatment gel comes in two strengths: mild (2.5%) and moderate (5%). We recommend starting with the mild (2.5%) strength treatment gel if you’re using our products for the first time.
