Persol AC 5 Gel (Benzoyl Peroxide 5%) – Acne Treatment & Oil Control Solution

Persol AC 5 Gel is a clinically formulated acne treatment containing 5% benzoyl peroxide to effectively combat mild to moderate acne. This advanced soothing gel works by eliminating acne-causing bacteria, unclogging blocked pores (blackheads and whiteheads), and regulating excess oil production. The unique formulation contains acrylate polymer beads that absorb sebum while reducing potential skin irritation, making it gentler than conventional benzoyl peroxide treatments. Enriched with hydrating glycerol, this medicated gel not only treats active breakouts but also promotes skin cell renewal for healthier-looking skin. Always use as directed by your healthcare professional for optimal acne-clearing results.

How Persol AC 5 Gel Works?

Persol AC 5% Gel contains 5% benzoyl peroxide which kills acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) and helps unclog pores by removing dead skin cells and excess oil. The acrylate polymer beads absorb sebum while reducing irritation, and glycerol maintains skin hydration. This triple-action approach treats existing acne while preventing new breakouts and improving skin texture.

FAQs:

Q1. How quickly does Persol AC 5 Gel work on acne?

Initial improvements may be seen in 2-4 weeks, with significant clearing typically occurring after 8-12 weeks of consistent use.

Yes, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer after the gel has fully absorbed (wait 10-15 minutes) to combat potential dryness.
