Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne is a clinically proven topical acne treatment containing 5% benzoyl peroxide, one of the most effective first-line ingredients for treating mild to moderate inflammatory acne. It helps reduce acne-causing bacteria, calm inflammation and keep pores clearer, improving existing breakouts while helping prevent new ones.
Unlike topical antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide has not been associated with clinically significant bacterial resistance, making Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne a trusted long-term treatment option. Its mild keratolytic action also helps remove excess dead skin cells that contribute to blocked pores.
Suitable for teenagers and adults with acne-prone skin, Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne can be used on its own or as part of a dermatologist-directed acne treatment plan. For patients with more persistent acne, it is often combined with adapalene or topical clindamycin.

Dermatologist Insight
Acne treatment is most effective when started early, before inflammation leads to permanent acne scars or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. While Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne is an excellent first-line treatment for mild inflammatory acne, patients with more persistent acne may benefit from combination therapy with adapalene or topical clindamycin under the guidance of a dermatologist.

- Wash the affected area with a gentle cleanser and pat the skin dry.
- Apply a thin layer of Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne to all acne-prone areas once daily. If well tolerated, your healthcare professional may recommend increasing to twice daily.
- If you have sensitive skin, begin with once-daily evening application. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce use to every second day until your skin adjusts.
- Follow with a non-comedogenic moisturiser to help maintain the skin barrier.
- Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning and minimise excessive sun exposure while using Benzac AC 5 Gel.
- Avoid contact with the eyes, lips and mucous membranes. Wash your hands thoroughly after application.
- Benzac AC 5 Gel may bleach coloured clothing, towels, pillowcases and bedding. Allow the gel to dry completely before it comes into contact with fabrics.
For best results, use it in combination with the Benzac AC5 wash, cleanser, and moisturiser as directed by your skin specialist or doctor.
We also strongly recommend that you use a 30+SPF sunblock because Benzoyl Peroxide increases skin’s sensitivity to the sun.
Can I use Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne every day?
Yes. The manufacturer recommends applying Benzac AC 5 Gel once or twice daily. If you have sensitive skin, start with once-daily evening application and gradually increase as tolerated.
Can I use Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne as a spot treatment?
Yes. Spot treatment may be suitable for occasional inflammatory pimples or for people with sensitive skin. If you have acne affecting larger areas, applying a thin layer to the entire acne-prone area is often more effective.
Can I combine Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne with adapalene?
Yes. Dermatologists commonly combine benzoyl peroxide with adapalene to target multiple causes of acne. For advice on combination therapy, read our How to Use Benzac AC 5 Gel: A Dermatologist's Guide.
Does Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne remove dark spots?
No. Benzac AC 5 Gel for Acne treats active acne by reducing acne-causing bacteria and inflammation. While controlling acne early can help prevent new post-inflammatory dark marks, it is not a treatment for existing pigmentation.

If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult your doctor, pharmacist or dermatologist before using Benzac AC 5 Gel.
