How long should I use Acnez Gel?
Use Acnez Gel as prescribed by your doctor for the recommended duration. This may include several months of treatment to achieve acne clearance. While initial benefits may appear within a few weeks, you might see gradual and definitive improvement over time. Usually, Acnez Gel is used for up to 12 weeks, but you might require more than one tube throughout each course of treatment.
What does Acnez Gel do for acne?
Acnez Gel treats and prevents acne by inhibiting the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, a key factor in acne development. Acne is a prevalent skin condition often caused by an overproduction of oil (sebum) triggered by hormonal changes during puberty. The excess sebum can clog pores, leading to blackheads. Bacteria invade these clogged pores, producing chemicals that cause red and inflamed bumps called pimples.
