Product introduction

Perobar 5% Cleansing Bar is a topical medicine used for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It works by killing acne-causing bacteria on the skin and by helping to remove dead skin cells that block pores. This reduces the formation of pimples and blackheads and helps keep the skin clearer over time.

Use Perobar 5% Cleansing Bar in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor or follow the instructions provided in the leaflet. Wash and dry the affected area before application. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve. Keep using it as advised. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve after a month of regular use.


Common side effects of Perobar 5% Cleansing Bar include itching, stinging, peeling, and redness of the skin. They are not usually serious, but tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. You may need to apply a smaller amount or use it less often. It can also bleach hair and fabrics, including clothes, so be careful to avoid contact with these.


Perobar 5% Cleansing Bar is meant for external use only and should be applied carefully to avoid irritation. Do not apply the medicine to broken or damaged skin. Also, keep the medicine away from the eyes, mouth, nose, and other sensitive areas. Sun exposure and UV light should be limited during treatment, as the skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight.

FAQs

How should I apply Perobar 5% Cleansing Bar?

You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Perobar 5% Cleansing Bar cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips. Apply it to the entire area affected by acne, not just each spot. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly with water.

The initial dose is preferably once daily in the evening. Later, the doctor will gradually increase the dose to twice daily (most probably morning and evening).

Can I leave Perobar 5% Cleansing Bar on overnight?

Perobar 5% Cleansing Bar is usually applied once a day in the evening when starting treatment. After applying it, the area does not need to be washed off, so it can be left on overnight. If you notice significant irritation or discomfort, stop using it and consult your doctor.

How long does Perobar 5% Cleansing Bar take to show its effects?
