A little goes a long way — 15g tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy benzoyl peroxide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenzoyl peroxide is the best-evidenced over-the-counter acne active there is: it clears spot-causing bacteria without breeding antibiotic resistance, and helps skin shed the plugs that become blackheads. UK dermatology guidance names it first-line for mild acne and breakouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart once daily: cleanse, dry, then smooth a thin layer over the whole affected area — not just individual spots. Build up to twice daily if your skin tolerates it. Some dryness or peeling in the first fortnight is normal; a light moisturiser smooths the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo golden rules: it bleaches (keep it off coloured towels, pillowcases and dyed hair) and it raises sun sensitivity (wear daily SPF). Give it a full four to six weeks. Acne that is severe, painful or scarring should see a pharmacist or GP.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acnecide","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730068316547,"sku":"4111571","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/61xMHZfh5gL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1788358398","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/acnecide-face-gel-5-w-w","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
