Hi so I was wondering if I could wear makeup over the benzac moisturiser?
Absolutely. Just make sure you use apply it sparingly and let it dry completely before applying makeup. My face was dry for about a week, so make sure you follow the instructions provided an beware you may peel initially (which will obviously impact the look of your foundation); it will pass.
Can this stuff be used to remove cysts? I have a cyst on my body. Last time I got a cyst removed it cost me $700 and wasn't worth it.
Hi yes it has removed mine, I continue to use the acne control kit 3 pack on my face with occasional pop ups . Only using the 2.5% . Ive been trying the benzac ac wash 5% for my back acne but have to admit only use it twice a week so minimal results there, it does say to use it once to twice a day which Im sure would give you much better results. Hope that helps :)
I've started using Benzac AC 5% recently. I put a very small amount on and then tea-tree moisturiser afterwards, and it burns like hell all night. My skin is really dry and it's peeling around my eyes. I put it on yesterday night and my face is still sore all day. What do I do?
I would use 2.5 benzac gel ...dont use near eyes...use the same brand moisturiser...if still burning dont use ...not an expert ut hope this helps
Hi,I'm also using the benzac Ac 5 wash product it make's my skin dry and it also peel's off so am not sure if I should continue using the product?
I don't have an active skincare routine. I kind of just wash my face then put on this gel. My acne has been getting worse as of late and just picked this product up in hopes of it getting better. How long do I have to wait minimum to have my acne clear up? I've only been using this product for ~2 days and there have been 0 results as of lately. Is there anything I have to change up, do I continue?
Do l wash my face when l finish applying the medicate with gel?
I have been using the benzac ac gel 5% for 3 weeks now. I have cleared my red pimples but i still have small pimples on my forehead. Are they going to clear up?
I started using Benzac AC gel on my bumps and pimples and its been 3 days but I am having patches and redness over my face and It feel like my pimples has increased more than before. Should i stop using it or continue it? any advice?
I would stop using. All them productsdid where cause redness and pain. Try something with less chemicals. Be kind to your skin.
For about 6-8 months now i've been using the 5% benzac acne treatment gel and it was working wonders for me. So I decided to go out and buy 5% in the other products (moisturiser and face clenser) but this morning when I put the moisturiser on my face began to sting, it stopped stinging after about 30 seconds I went through a range of possibilities in my head as to why this is occurring, am I allergic?, is this normal? and could it be the result of the garnier micellar water I put on before the moisturiser? Or do I need a lower strength moisturiser (that wouldn't make sense because I have 5% in all the other products).
This is a completely normal reaction. As you progress into the course, a few months, the stinging will subside. Your skin is adapting to a foreign substance, so don’t worry too much. However, if it is really bad - I suggest you lower the dosage or see a doctor.
Hi all, I recently used some Benzac AC Moisturiser on my rashes and acne; however, when I put it on my top lid of my right eye, it began to burn for some odd reason. I rarely use Benzac but recently, a mix of hot Australian sun and itchiness resulted in rashes so I have tried to take action on it but the Moisturiser hurt. Unlike the other red rashes I have on my face, this one strangely hurt to a degree but the pain disappeared after 5 minutes, is this normal?
Sounds like a reaction and I wouldn’t continue using. It’s a really harsh product and so many other products that are healthier for you.
You should keep this product away from the eye area! It says it on the box, please be careful.
I usually put it on my neck as well and my skin around the neck is dry and darker it looks like it wants to peel is that normal or i should stop using it around my neck?
If it’s the affected area, you should apply the cream once daily to avoid excessive peeling. Avoid areas that are not affected as it will react.
I would stop using, it’s a crap product and so many better healthier options out there. Drying your skin out ain’t gonna fix acne.
@SixteenYO i'll just apply it on my face cause it's doing wonders there, thanx for the response
@Jord it actually works
I just bought benzac ac 5% wash and i don't know whether to apply it on wet or dry face?
Apply on a wet face.
I’ve been using the full kit and my skins peeling and after it put the moisturiser on it burns my skin and goes red will it always be like this?
This wont answer your question sorry but I just bought it and got the same thing except no redness probably becuase i washed everything off (got some in my eye) and started again. I'm going to wait an hour before putting the moisuriser on now (one review suggested waiting 15 min but i wanna do an hour to be safe) and see if it still burns
That is a completely normal reaction, this happens during the first couple of weeks. Let your skin adapt to the regime, if it is too irritated, reduce your application or see a doctor.
