Product overview

About Acnecide Face Wash

The wash-off way to get benzoyl peroxide into an acne routine: Acnecide Face Wash 5% w/w gel cleanses daily, fights the bacteria that cause spots, and unblocks pores, blackheads and whiteheads — then rinses away. 50g tube.

Wash-off vs leave-on

It's the same clinically proven active as the leave-on gel, but with a short contact time — which makes the wash the gentler introduction for sensitive or first-time skin, and the practical option for larger areas like the chest and back where leave-on gel is a chore.

How to use

Once daily to start: wet the skin, massage in a small amount for a minute or two, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Step up to twice daily if your skin is comfortable with it.

Good to know

It still bleaches fabric — rinse well and stick to white towels. Mild dryness early on is normal. Once skin has adjusted, many people pair the wash with Acnecide leave-on gel on stubborn patches. Give it four to six weeks before judging.
