Benefits of Pernex Gel

Acne
Pernex-Plus Gel helps treat acne by reducing the production of excessive oil in the skin. This helps keep your pores open and prevent further acne breakouts. It helps reduce redness and swelling around acne and promotes healing. It also helps reduce acne blemishes and gives you a smoother-looking skin. Pernex-Plus Gel usually takes a few weeks to have a noticeable effect so keep using it even if it appears not to be working. This medicine will help improve your mood and uplift your confidence as acne reduces.

Side effects of Pernex Gel

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Pernex Gel

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Pernex Gel works

Pernex-Plus Gel is a combination of two medicines: Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide, which treat acne (pimples). Adapalene is a form of vitamin A, and Benzoyl Peroxide is a keratolytic medicine. Together, they prevent the accumulation of sebum (skin’s natural oil), unblock the pores, and allow natural exfoliation of the outer layers of the skin. Benzoyl Peroxide additionally penetrates the skin and kills acne-causing bacteria.

Pernex-Plus Gel can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing while stepping out.
Avoid getting it in your eyes or mouth. If this happens, rinse with water immediately.
Do not apply to broken, sunburnt, or sensitive areas of skin. Inform your doctor if you notice unusual dryness, redness, and peeling of the skin.
Be careful when applying Pernex-Plus Gel to large areas since it can bleach hair, clothing, and furnishings upon contact.
