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. **Q: Do I need to wash this off after applying it to my face?** A: This is a face wash with benzoyl peroxide which exfoliates the skin. **Q: Does this dry your skin out like the acnecide cream does?** A: 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 **Q: Can I use this for KP on my body?** A: What's kp? You can use it on your body. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible product. 6 months of use review for the face wash. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 December 2025* The two sides of the clear skin photo with me wearing headphones was taken a few hours ago. The three photos that follow—of the side, front, and lower half of my face—were taken just before I started using the face wash. The rest of the photos were taken over the months as I used the face wash twice a day religiously. My skin was never spot-prone; I only ever had such an attack of acne five years ago, I underwent a facial treatment for another skin concern that also happened to resolved my acne issues. This current breakout began at the beginning of 2025, and I suspect it is hormonal. I swapped face towels for single-use disposable ones. I tried clarifying wash, serum and cream sets such as Alumiers, which cost me over £150 a month and was recommended by my aesthetician. She meant well and I have worked with her for years; the theory was that these acid-based products would exfoliate and clear my skin and pores. Nothing worked for me; my breakouts were mostly bumps beneath the skin of various sizes and these clarifying products will never reach that deep. I noticed my little sister had this Acnecide face wash in her bag, so I searched for it and found it on Amazon. I had no expectations; in fact, I regarded it with little trust as much more sophisticated products had let me down. I received the first tube on 15 July, and it cost under £7. I washed my face by massaging the gel with a little water on a wet face for 45 seconds, then left it on for 5 minutes before rinsing it off. My face did itch a lot for about 15 minutes, but this only happened three more times before it stopped. Over the weeks, I did increase how long I left the gel on my face before rinsing it off. I am not recommending you do the same, as all skin is different, but I did many times leave the wash on for an hour and occasionally forgot I had it on for a few more hours. It is drying, so I have been applying deeply moisturising, barrier-repairing creams. Nothing expensive—simple barrier repair cream was good enough. After washing it off, I did apply rose water to my face. My skin got ‘worse’ before it got better. This product surfaces all the lumps, causing a lot of white cysts that will burst on their own. Also, the surfacing pimples can crowd in the same area and my skin becomes a bit sore and itchy, and they will burst randomly in the shower, so the first six weeks were crazy. I didn’t burst the spots on purpose, but once they did on their own, I would help push out the build-up, and it did scare me how deep the build-up was rooted in my skin. I never forced or squeezed hard; I just wanted to clear what was already there. Eventually, I ran out of bumps to surface and the cream seemed to be brightening my dark pimple scars. I am still using the wash twice a day; I apply it for 15 minutes before rinsing. There is a leave-on gel, which I tried a few times in the beginning, but it was too drying, and applying cream on top seemed to cause issues for me.Sorry, this was a long jog of a read. I don’t normally leave reviews. I also wish I took more photos when my skin was looking the craziest in the first two months. I only took the photos to inspect my skin; I never planned to make this review. Only as I was about to wash my face did I remember the photos, and I wanted to measure my progress. I was so impressed, I thought I ought to do the decent thing and maybe spread my positive experience with this little wash. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Proof is in my results! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 26 August 2026* 1st and 2nd photos from may 2nd, 3rd and 4th picture is from August 26th. This face wash has changed my confidence so much, it will by no means fix your problems but it will definitely improve your skin. I was sick of buying different face washes to see what works for me (I’m 22). I know the price point is on the high side but the results show why. My face is no longer getting itchy or under the skin spots anymore. The only advice I would give is gradually introduce this into your routine, and use a small amount. Would definitely recommend this to people who struggle with their skin and feel like they’ve tried every avenue! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff to help prevent flare ups *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 August 2026* Does what it says but don’t use it every day as can dry your skin out well it does with mine I use it if I get a particularly bad outbreak. I don’t use it more than 3 times in a week but it does the job ## Frequently Bought Together - Acnecide Face Wash Gel 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment for Spot-Prone Skin 50g - Acnecide Face Gel 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment for Spot Prone Skin 15g - Purifide by Acnecide Daily Cleanser Acne Face Wash for Spot Prone Skin & Blemish Control, For Women and Men, 235ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/736290248-face-wash-gel-5-benzoyl-peroxide-50g](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/736290248-face-wash-gel-5-benzoyl-peroxide-50g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
