Acnecide Face Wash Gel is an over-the-counter, medicinal antiseptic and exfoliating wash. It contains 5% w/w Benzoyl Peroxide as its active ingredient, formulated with microsphere technology to absorb excess oil while releasing hydrating glycerin.
Applied as a wash-off treatment, adolescents and adults use it to treat mild to moderate facial acne, targeting blackheads, whiteheads, and active breakouts.
Acnecide Face Wash tackles acne through a powerful dual-action mechanism directly on the skin's surface:
Kills Acne-Causing Bacteria: Benzoyl peroxide releases oxygen into the pores, creating an environment where Cutibacterium acnes (the bacteria responsible for inflammatory spots) cannot survive, destroying up to 95% of these bacteria.
Unblocks Pores and Exfoliates: It has a mild peeling (comedolytic) effect that helps shed dead skin cells, clearing out trapped sebum and preventing new blackheads or whiteheads from forming.
Absorbs Excess Oil: The specialized gel base absorbs surface shine while releasing glycerin to soothe and hydrate the skin barrier during treatment.
🚨 Important Material Warning: Benzoyl peroxide is a powerful bleaching agent.
It will permanently bleach or discolor any colored fabrics, clothing, towels, bed linen, or dyed hair it comes into contact with.
Always wash your hands thoroughly after use, rinse the sink basin immediately, and use white towels or old linens while undergoing treatment.
Initial Skin Irritation and Sensitivity: Benzoyl peroxide can cause dryness, redness, or peeling during the first few days. Build up your skin's tolerance slowly. If severe burning or blistering occurs, stop using it immediately.
Avoid Broken Skin and Sensitive Areas: Do not apply the wash to open cuts, grazes, or broken skin, and keep it strictly away from your eyes, lips, inside of the nose, and mucous membranes.
Sunlight and UV Exposure: This treatment can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid sunbeds and limit direct sun exposure; use a non-comedogenic sunscreen if exposure is unavoidable.
Do Not Double Up on Acne Treatments: Avoid combining Acnecide with other topical acne creams, harsh physical scrubs, or skincare products containing exfoliating acids (like AHAs, BHAs, or Retinol) unless specifically directed by a doctor.
The Wash-Off Rule: Unlike leave-on creams, Acnecide is a wash-off treatment. It must be left in contact with the skin for only 1 to 2 minutes before being rinsed off thoroughly with water.
The Build-Up Schedule: When starting out, use it once daily (preferably in the evening). After 2 to 3 days, if your skin tolerates it well, you can increase usage to twice daily (morning and evening).
Age Restriction: This product is formulated for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. It is not recommended for children under 12.
1.Wash your hands and wet the target skin area:Prep & Wet.
Clean your hands first, then thoroughly splash lukewarm water over your face, chest, or back where breakouts occur.
2.Massage a small amount gently for 1 to 2 minutes:Apply & Wait.
Place a small amount into your wet hands, lather, and massage over the affected skin. Leave the wash on for 1 to 2 minutes so the active ingredient can work.
3.Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry:Rinse & Dry.
Rinse all traces of the gel away completely with clean water. Gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel and wash your hands.
Because benzoyl peroxide actively stimulates skin cell turnover, minor local reactions are very common during the first couple of weeks:
Mild skin dryness, tightness, or minor flaking.
Slight skin redness, a warm sensation, or mild stinging during application.
Note: If you develop severe skin blistering, painful swelling, intense burning, or signs of an allergic reaction (such as a widespread rash or facial swelling), discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice.
How long does it take for Acnecide Face Wash to clear up acne?
Skin improvement is a gradual process. While it starts killing bacteria immediately, it typically takes 4 weeks of consistent daily use to see a significant reduction in spots and clear skin, and up to 12 weeks for maximum results.
Can I use a daily moisturizer alongside this wash?
Yes, and it is strongly encouraged. Because benzoyl peroxide can dry out the surface of the skin, applying an oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer after drying your face will help protect your skin barrier and reduce flaking.
How should the tube be stored safely?
Keep the white plastic cap tightly closed after every use to prevent moisture from entering. Store the tube in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C, away from direct heat or window sunlight, and keep it completely out of the reach of children.
Because specialized dermatological washes must be authentic to prevent skin irritation from substandard formulations and must be protected from tropical warehouse heat, they should be sourced exclusively through trusted clinical channels. To order 100% genuine, factory-fresh Acnecide Face Wash Gel, you can do so directly online through Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores. We provide verified clinical handling, secure payment networks, and fast, temperature-protected delivery straight to your door anywhere in Nigeria.
Notice: This guide is for educational and general skincare tracking support only. Severe cystic or scarring acne requires physical evaluation and tailored treatment by a qualified dermatologist. If someone experiences signs of a severe allergic reaction (such as swelling of the lips, face, and throat with breathing distress), stop use completely and seek immediate emergency clinical intervention at the nearest hospital emergency department right away.
