Ajanta Peroclin 2.5% Cream 15g – Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Cream in Pakistan
Ajanta Peroclin 2.5% Cream contains Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%, a well-established topical treatment for mild to moderate acne vulgaris. Benzoyl Peroxide helps reduce acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes), removes excess oil, and promotes gentle exfoliation to keep pores clear.
The 2.5% strength is often chosen because it can be effective while being less irritating than higher-strength formulations for many users. Consistent use, together with a suitable skincare routine, may help reduce breakouts and improve overall skin appearance.
