The last thing you want to hear when you’re trying to treat your spots is ‘be patient’. But like all treatments that tackle the underlying causes of spots, Acnecide needs time to work. Remember, if you do not see any improvement in your acne within the the first month of using, contact your doctor or pharmacist who will be able to advise on other treatment options. Acnecide Gel & Acnecide Wash treatments contain two technologies to help you escape the cycle of spots: Benzoyl Peroxide Reduces the bacteria that cause spots (Propionibacterium acnes) by 95%A special microsphere technology To help absorb excess oil (a common factor in many Acne sufferers), while releasing glycerine to hydrate your skin.
