[Tried & Tested] Clear Your Acne Prone And Oily Skin With Benzac

Hi Huneybees,

Acnes are always a irritating fellow. Not only does it affect our looks, alot would also agree if I say it affects the self esteem as well. Well, if you are troubled by acne, Benzac might be the solution for you. It is a skincare range recently launched by Galderma - targeting at treating adult /youth acne problems.

Some of the best acne treatment therapies may produce clear skin in some acne sufferers but only exacerbate the problem in individuals with combination skin types. As acne sufferers have different skin conditions ranging from normal, sensitive, oily to combination, the new range of Benzac cleansers and scrub aim to complement the current Benzac AC® treatment gels by removing impurities from the skin and unblocking pores, leaving your skin nourished and soothed.

So, I got my hubby to try the range of products sent over to me, as I didn't have much of acnes to work on. Hehehe...

So, he embarked on a 5-day journey to see if Benzac works for him. Firstly, using the Benzac Daily Facial Liquid Cleanser to cleanse his face twice a day. 

Then, he used the Benzac AC®5 Gel on the affected acnes twice a day. It blends into the skin, so you don't have to worry that you will see white spots all over your face. Moreover, there is a cooling effect when applied, hubby said that it's pretty refreshing especially in the mornings!

What's so special about the Benzac AC® Gels is that they contain the active ingredient, Benzoyl Peroxide. Benzoyl Peroxide is an antimicrobial that has keratolytic action (unblock pores) and is able to quickly and effectively kill Propionibacterium acnes (P-acnes) bacteria within 48 hours. Unlike antibiotics, bacteria have not been able to become resistant to benzoyl peroxide.

In addition, the Benzac AC® Gel is specifically formulated with Acrylates Copolymer (AC) beads to absorb excess oils (sebum) that can carry bacteria, thus reducing surface sebum and it also releases glycerin, which helps to moisturize dry and irritated skin. The Benzac AC® Gel is available in several different concentrations -2.5%, 5% and 10%.

After using the products for 5 days straight, I can see an improvement in my hubby's skin. The acnes are less and his skin is definitely less oily. He doesn't even need to blot his face that much and he's loving it! He has been using the products ever since and he was glowing for Chinese New Year!

Benzac® Range of Daily Cleansers and Treatment Gels are available at the following selected pharmacies: Guardian, Unity and Watsons.
