How should I apply Perrigo Benzoyl Peroxide 5% gel?

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin on the affected areas once or twice daily, or follow directions on the label. Start with a once-daily application to assess tolerability and avoid combining with other strong topical products unless advised.

• Wash and dry the skin before application.
• Use a pea-sized amount for small areas; more for larger zones.
• Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and broken skin.
• Follow with sunscreen during daytime use as skin may be more sensitive to sunlight.

What precautions and compatibility should I be aware of?

• Do not use on open wounds or mucous membranes.
• Consult a healthcare provider if pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating severe skin conditions.
• Store at room temperature and keep the cap tightly closed.

Who is this for: This Perrigo Benzoyl Peroxide 5% gel is suitable for adults and older teens seeking an over-the-counter topical option for managing mild-to-moderate acne lesions and maintenance care.
