Perowash 2.5% Facewash

How Perowash Works

Perowash 2.5% Facewash harnesses the antibacterial power of benzoyl peroxide, a well-established acne-fighting compound. When applied to the skin, benzoyl peroxide penetrates deep into the pores, where it:

• Kills Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), the bacteria responsible for acne.
• Breaks down keratin, helping to prevent clogged pores.
• Removes excess oil and dead skin cells, reducing the chances of future breakouts.

Unlike higher concentrations that may irritate sensitive skin, the 2.5% formulation offers a gentler option with proven efficacy. Scientific studies support benzoyl peroxide as a first-line treatment for acne vulgaris, especially in its lower concentrations, which reduce the risk of side effects while still delivering significant benefits.

Indications & Uses

Perowash is primarily indicated for:

• Mild to moderate acne vulgaris
• Inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions (such as blackheads and whiteheads)
• Maintenance therapy after oral or topical antibiotic treatment
• Individuals with oily or acne-prone skin

Recommended Usage

• Apply Perowash twice daily—once in the morning and once at night.
• Wet your face, apply a small amount of facewash, and massage gently for 20–30 seconds.
• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel.
• Follow up with a moisturizer or other prescribed treatments.

Before using Perowash regularly, a patch test is recommended to ensure there are no allergic reactions.
