Benzac 10% wash, while effective, can cause skin irritation. Expect dryness, redness, and peeling, especially during the initial weeks of use. These are common and usually temporary.
Some users experience a burning or stinging sensation upon application. This typically subsides as your skin adjusts. If it persists or intensifies, reduce application frequency or consider using a lower concentration.
Infrequent side effects include increased sun sensitivity. Always apply sunscreen with a high SPF during daytime use. Avoid prolonged sun exposure.
Rarely, Benzac can cause more serious reactions. These include severe skin irritation, swelling, or blistering. Discontinue use and consult a doctor immediately if these occur.
