Product Description
BENZONAK 5% is a lotion containing 5.00% Benzoyl Peroxide as an active ingredient. It is primarily used for the treatment of acne. Benzoyl Peroxide works by killing the bacteria on the skin that can cause acne and by reducing oil production in the sebaceous glands. This helps to unclog pores and prevent the formation of new pimples. BENZONAK 5% also has a mild peeling effect, which helps to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells. It is a topical solution for treating mild to moderate acne.
