BP Cleansing Wash is indicated for the treatment of common acne (acne vulgaris). It is commonly used for mild to moderate inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions including pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads.
BP Cleansing Wash typically contains benzoyl peroxide, which works as a topical antibacterial agent. It reduces Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes) on the skin surface and has mild keratolytic properties that help unclog pores.
For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. May bleach hair or colored fabrics. Common side effects include skin dryness, redness, and peeling, especially when first starting treatment. Patients with sensitive skin should start with less frequent applications. Consult a healthcare provider if acne does not improve after several weeks of consistent use.
