Oxy Acne Wash 80g

Oxy Acne Wash is a trusted topical skincare cleanser that belongs to the class of keratolytic and antimicrobial agents, formulated to target acne-prone skin with its active ingredient, Benzoyl Peroxide. Like any skincare product with active pharmaceutical ingredients, it's good to know that some users may experience side effects such as skin dryness, peeling, redness, or mild irritation, especially during the first few weeks of use — and that's completely normal for most people starting out. If you have sensitive skin or are using other topical treatments, it's worth taking a moment to read through this guide before you begin. We want to make sure you feel confident and informed about what you're putting on your skin, because your safety and comfort genuinely matter to us.

How to Take Oxy Acne Wash

Oxy Acne Wash is designed for external use only and should be applied directly to the affected skin areas of the face or body. Wet the skin first, apply a small amount of the wash, gently lather for about 1–2 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly with water — being careful to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs with sensitive areas, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Dosage of Oxy Acne Wash

For most users, Oxy Acne Wash is recommended to be used once or twice daily, or as directed by a pharmacist or healthcare professional. It is advisable to start with once-daily use to allow the skin to adjust, particularly if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

Shelf Life of Oxy Acne Wash

Oxy Acne Wash typically has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored properly and kept unopened. Once opened, it is generally recommended to use the product within 12 months for optimal efficacy and safety. Always check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use, and do not use the product beyond its stated expiration date.
