Zapzyt Maximum Strength 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Gel

What does Zapzyt Acne Treatment Gel treat?

Acne pimples, blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads: its label use is the treatment and prevention of acne, with 10% benzoyl peroxide as the active. Don't use it if you have sensitive skin or are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide.

How do I apply it?

Wash your face, then apply the gel to areas where pimples and excess oil occur and leave it on; don't rinse. For best results use it up to three times daily.

Can I wear moisturiser or make-up over it?

Yes. Zapzyt's directions say to apply the gel before moisturiser or make-up; let it dry first, then follow with sunscreen, as the label advises avoiding unnecessary sun exposure.

My skin is dry and flaky where I've used it. What now?

Reduce to once a day or every other day, as the label directs for excessive drying. Mild irritation may ease with less frequent use; if irritation becomes severe, stop, and if it still continues, see a doctor.

Will it bleach my clothes or carpet?

It can. The label specifically warns that hair and dyed fabric, including carpet and clothing, may be bleached, so let the gel dry fully before dressing or going to bed.

Can I use it with the Zapzyt Acne Wash or other acne products?

The gel's own directions say to wash with a Zapzyt cleansing product before applying, and we stock the Zapzyt Acne Wash for face and body. But using other topical acne medications at the same time may increase dryness or irritation, so if that happens, use only one unless a doctor advises otherwise.

Should I stop once my skin clears?

No. The label says to keep using Zapzyt after your skin has cleared to help stop new pimples forming, at whatever frequency your skin tolerates.
