Acnecide 5% w/w Gel – 30g

Acnecide Gel contains the active ingredient of benzoyl peroxide, which eliminates the bacteria that cause acne. It unclogs the pores and removes dead skin cells, resulting in softer and more hydrated skin. While Acnecide can treat mild to moderate acne, it's less effective for severe cases.
