Maximum Strength 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment
Mountain Falls 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Gel is a concentrated topical treatment formulated for moderate to severe inflammatory acne. This maximum-strength gel serves as a generic alternative to brand-name products like Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10, containing the same active ingredient to target persistent breakouts and stubborn pimples.
How it Works
The 10% Benzoyl Peroxide formulation works by delivering oxygen into the skin's pores. This process targets the Cutibacterium acnes bacteria responsible for inflammation and painful pimples. Additionally, the gel acts as a keratolytic, helping to clear away excess sebum (skin oil) and dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to new blackheads.
Key Benefits
- Targeted Action: Specifically designed for "stubborn" pimples that do not respond to lower-strength treatments.
- Deep Cleansing: Helps clear blocked pores to provide sharp relief from active inflammation and swelling.
- Water-Based Formula: The non-greasy gel texture is suitable for the humid Nigerian climate and absorbs without leaving a sticky residue.
Application Guide & "Pepperish" Sensation
To minimize skin irritation, follow these steps:
- Wash your hands and the affected skin area with a mild cleanser and pat dry.
- Apply a thin layer of the gel once daily to start.
- If no excessive dryness or peeling occurs, you may gradually increase to two or three times daily.
- Note: You may experience a mild tingling or "pepperish" sensation upon application. This is common with 10% strength formulas. However, if you experience severe redness, burning, or itching, wash it off immediately and consult a GoMed pharmacist.
Important Precautions
- Sun Sensitivity: Benzoyl peroxide increases your risk of sunburn. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily when using this product in the Nigerian sun.
- Fabric Staining: This product can bleach colored towels, bedding, and clothes. Use white linens or wait for the gel to dry completely before contact.
- Availability: As of late 2026, the manufacturer of Mountain Falls (Vi-Jon, LLC) has faced corporate restructuring, which has led to limited supply in the Nigerian market. If this item is out of stock, ask our pharmacist for a stable alternative like Rugby 10% Gel.
