Benzepro is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris (common acne). It helps reduce the number of acne lesions and prevents new breakouts from forming.

Benzepro contains benzoyl peroxide, which has antibacterial properties that reduce the growth of acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes). It also helps to peel away dead skin cells and excess oil that can clog pores.

Benzepro may cause skin dryness, redness, or peeling, especially when first starting treatment. Avoid contact with hair, fabrics, and colored surfaces as benzoyl peroxide can cause bleaching. Use sunscreen and moisturizers as needed to manage side effects. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using this product.
