Maximum Strength 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 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 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: 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 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.
