How Benzox 5 Gel 20g Works
Benzox 5 Gel 20g contains benzoyl peroxide (5%), which acts on the body as follows:
- Kills Acne-Causing Bacteria: Benzoyl peroxide effectively kills Cutibacterium acnes, a type of bacteria that contributes to acne inflammation and breakouts.
- Exfoliates Skin: By helping to loosen and shed the top layer of dead skin cells (keratin) and debris, benzoyl peroxide aids in unclogging pores that cause blackheads and whiteheads.
- Moisturizes Skin: Benzoyl peroxide may also have a soothing effect by retaining moisture in the skin, reducing irritation.

- Pat your skin dry before applying the gel.
