What is this medicine?

BENZOYL PEROXIDE is used on the skin to treat mild to moderate acne.

What should my health care professional know before I use this medicine?

They need to know if you have any of these conditions:

  • asthma
  • skin disease, abrasions, irritation or infection
  • sunburn
  • an unusual or allergic reaction to benzoic acid, cinnamon, parabens, sulfites, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
  • pregnant or trying to get pregnant
  • breast-feeding

How should I use this medicine?

This medicine is for external use only. Do not take by mouth. Before using, wash affected area with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. Do not apply to raw or irritated skin. Apply enough gel to cover the area and rub in gently. Avoid getting medicine in your eyes, lips, nose, mouth, or other sensitive areas. Do not wash treated areas of skin for at least 1 hour after using the medicine. If you experience very dry and peeling skin or skin irritation, talk to your doctor or health care professional.

What if I miss a dose?

This doesn't apply.

What may interact with this medicine?

  • adapalene
  • isotretinoin
  • salicylic acid or sulfur containing products
  • topical antibiotics such as clindamycin or erythromycin
  • tretinoin

Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other skin preparations, prescription and non-prescription, you are using. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check before stopping or starting any of your medicines.

What should I watch for while taking this medicine?

Your acne may get worse during the first few weeks of treatment, and then start to get better. It may take 8 to 12 weeks before you see the full effect. If you do not see any improvement within 4 to 6 weeks, call your doctor or health care professional.

Once you see a decrease in your acne, you may need to continue to use this medicine to control it.

Do not use products that may dry the skin like medicated cosmetics, products that contain alcohol, or abrasive soaps or cleaners. Do not use other acne or skin treatment on the same area that you use this medicine unless your doctor or health care professional tells you to. If you use these together they can cause severe skin irritation.

This medicine can make you more sensitive to the sun. Keep out of the sun. If you cannot avoid being in the sun, wear protective clothing and use sunscreen. Do not use sun lamps or tanning beds/booths.

This medicine may bleach hair or colored fabrics. Avoid getting the medicine on your clothes.

What side effects may I notice from this medicine?

Side effects that you should report to your doctor or health care professional as soon as possible:

  • allergic reactions like skin rash, itching or hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue
  • severe burning, itching, reddening, crusting, or swelling of the treated areas

Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your doctor or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):

  • increased sensitivity to the sun
  • mild burning or stinging of the treated areas
  • red, inflamed, and irritated skin

This list may not describe all possible side effects.
