Persol AC 2.5 Gel is used to treat bacterial skin infections like acne (pimples). It contains Benzoyl Peroxide, which kills bacteria, reduces inflammation and unplugs blocked pores. It decomposes to release oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen acts as a bactericidal agent and kills Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. This medicine increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helps in peeling the skin and treating comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne). It also has a mild drying effect that allows excess oils and dirt to be washed away from the skin. It may cause common side effects such as dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, swelling, blistering, crusting, and skin rash.
