Topical gel with 10% benzoyl peroxide for the local symptomatic treatment of acne vulgaris. From 12 years of age.
Contains 30 g.
It is a medicated gel for topical use formulated with 100 mg/g of benzoyl peroxide, an active ingredient with antimicrobial and sebostatic properties that stops the growth of Propionibacterium acne, a microorganism that causes acne.
It comes in a tube containing 30 grams of product at a concentration of 100mg/g.
Designed for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age who suffer from moderate acne vulgaris.
Wash and dry the skin before applying a small amount of gel to the area to be treated. It can be used once or twice a day, depending on skin tolerance and intensity of treatment.
It is recommended to start the medication with Peroxiben 2.5%, as it contains the lowest dose of this active ingredient. Once tolerance has been checked, it is possible to switch to Peroxiben 5%, or even to 10% mg if after 3-4 weeks the skin accepts the product well.
Improvement is usually seen after the first 4-6 weeks of treatment, although longer use may be necessary.
Do not use Peroxiben 5%:
