Maximum Strength 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment
Mountain Falls 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Gel is a concentrated topical treatment formulated for moderate to severe acne. This maximum-strength gel is a generic alternative to brand-name products like Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10, containing the same active ingredient to target persistent breakouts.
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 pimples. Additionally, the gel helps to clear away excess sebum (skin oil) and dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to new blackheads.
Key Benefits
- Targeted Action: 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.
- Water-Based Formula: The non-greasy gel texture is suitable for humid climates and absorbs without leaving a sticky residue.
Application Guide
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.
- If your skin becomes very dry or starts to peel, reduce the frequency of application.
Important Precautions for Nigerian Users
- "Does it burn?" You may experience a mild tingling or "pepperish" sensation upon application. This is common with 10% strength formulas. If you experience severe redness or itching, wash it off and contact a GoMed pharmacist.
- Sun Sensitivity: Benzoyl peroxide increases your risk of sunburn. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily when using this product.
- Fabric Staining: This product can bleach colored towels, bedding, and clothes. Use white linens or wait for the gel to dry completely before contact.
