Wash and dry affected areas. Apply the gel in a thin layer to cover the affected areas once daily, leaving on the skin for 2 hours then wash off with water. After three days if no discomfort is felt, apply in the evening and allow to remain all night. After a further three days, if there is no discomfort and the acne is resisting treatment, apply twice a day, once in the morning. Leave on all day then wash the affected area and apply again in the evening. Leave on all night.

Persons with sensitive skin should be directed to apply the gel once daily before going to bed.

Normal use may cause a mild burning feeling at first followed by some redness with some peeling during the first few days.

BENZAC AC Gel is available in three strengths, 2.5%, 5% and 10%. Unless otherwise directed begin acne therapy with the weakest strength. This suggestion applies especially to people with sensitive skins.

If the medication is applied excessively, no more rapid or better results will be obtained and severe irritation might develop. In this event treatment must be discontinued and appropriate symptomatic therapy should be instituted.
