Benzoyl Peroxide 10% & Precipitated Sulphur 5% Cream

Benzoyl Peroxide 10% & Precipitated Sulphur 5% Cream Strengths & Usage Guide

Understanding the Different Strengths

Benzoyl Peroxide 10% (High Strength)

• Best For: Severe or cystic acne and persistent breakouts.
• Benefits: Works as a powerful antibacterial agent that penetrates deep into the pores, killing acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation to prevent new acne from forming.
• Suitable For: Individuals with stubborn or chronic acne who need a stronger treatment option.

Precipitated Sulphur 5% (Moderate Strength)

• Best For: Mild to moderate acne, oily skin, and sensitive skin types.
• Benefits: Sulphur works to absorb excess oil, calm irritation, and reduce acne-causing bacteria, providing a gentler approach compared to benzoyl peroxide. It also soothes the skin and helps to prevent further breakouts.
• Suitable For: Those with sensitive, dry, or combination skin who need a more balanced treatment.

How to Use

Application Tips:

• Cleanse Your Skin First: Always apply the cream to clean, dry skin.
• Apply a Thin Layer: Use a small amount of cream, applying a thin layer to the affected areas where acne or congestion is present. Avoid using large amounts as the formula is potent.
• Frequency: Start by using the cream 2-3 times a week to assess your skin’s tolerance. Gradually increase to once or twice a day, as your skin adapts.
• Moisturise After: Follow up with a hydrating moisturiser to prevent dryness, especially when using benzoyl peroxide.
• Use Sunscreen: As both benzoyl peroxide and sulphur can increase skin sensitivity, be sure to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, even on cloudy days.

Frequency:

• Benzoyl Peroxide 10% & Precipitated Sulphur 5% Cream: Start with 2-3 times per week, then increase to daily use as tolerated. If irritation or excessive dryness occurs, reduce the frequency.

Pro Tips:

• Avoid Mixing with Harsh Actives: Don’t use other exfoliating acids or retinoids at the same time as this product to avoid irritation.
• Be Patient: Results can take 4-6 weeks to become visible, so consistency is key.
• Patch Test: Always patch test before using the cream to ensure your skin can tolerate it, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
