There are no animal derived ingredients in the Acnecide Face Gel or Face Wash Gel formulations. As these products are licensed consumer medicines, and the formulation will, by law, have been tested on animals a long time ago at their creation. However as there has been widespread use of these medicines over many years, there is now an established safety profile and evidence base, therefore animal testing has not been required on this medicine for a long time. We hope this transparency on the history and legal status as a medicine helps you make your decision. Acnecide UK customer Services.

Do I need to wash this off after applying it to my face?

This is a face wash with benzoyl peroxide which exfoliates the skin.

Does this dry your skin out like the acnecide cream does?

It doesn’t with me. But all skins are different. Mines sensitive. I wet my face massage some wash in and leave it on the skin for only 2 minutes only then rinse it off. It’s not as drying as the acnecide cream as you rinse it off. Acnecide cream is left on the skin. I find this better on my skin. Hope that helps

Can I use this for KP on my body?

What's kp? You can use it on your body.
