Persol 2.5% Gel 20gm

Persol 2.5% Gel 20gm contains Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%), a powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent used to treat acne (pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads). It works by killing acne-causing bacteria, unclogging pores, and reducing excess oil production, giving you clearer and healthier skin.

Key Benefits:

Effectively treats mild to moderate acne
Kills acne-causing bacteria and prevents new breakouts
Reduces redness, swelling, and inflammation
Unclogs pores and removes excess oil
Helps in skin renewal, reducing acne scars and blemishes

How It Works:

Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) works in multiple ways:

• Kills bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) responsible for acne.
• Unclogs blocked pores by removing dead skin cells.
• Reduces oil production, preventing future breakouts.

Unlike higher-strength benzoyl peroxide formulations, 2.5% is milder, making it less irritating while still being effective.

How to Use:

1. Wash your face with a mild cleanser and pat dry.
2. Apply a thin layer of Persol 2.5% Gel only on affected areas.
3. Use once daily at night, or as directed by your doctor.
4. Wash hands after application.
5. If skin irritation occurs, reduce usage to every other day.
6. Always use sunscreen during the day, as benzoyl peroxide increases sun sensitivity.

Possible Side Effects:

• Mild redness or irritation
• Dry or peeling skin
• Burning or stinging sensation
• Temporary skin lightening in the applied area

If severe irritation, swelling, or an allergic reaction occurs, stop use and consult a doctor.

Precautions & Warnings:

For external use only—avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin.
Do not use on sensitive areas like underarms or lips.
May cause bleaching of fabric or hair—wash hands after use.
Not recommended for very dry or sensitive skin.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.
