Benxop Meet Wash is a topical medicine used for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It works by killing acne-causing bacteria on the skin and by helping to remove dead skin cells that block pores. This reduces the formation of pimples and blackheads and helps keep the skin clearer over time.
Employ Benxop Meet Wash in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor or follow the instructions provided in the leaflet. Wash and dry the affected area before application. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve. Retain using it as advised. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve after a month of regular use.
Ordinary side effects of Benxop Meet Wash include itching, stinging, peeling, and redness of the skin. They are not usually serious, but tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. You may need to apply a smaller amount or use it less often. It can also bleach hair and fabrics, including clothes, so be careful to avoid contact with these.
Benxop Meet Wash is meant for external use only and should be applied carefully to avoid irritation. Do not apply the medicine to broken or damaged skin. Also, keep the medicine away from the eyes, mouth, nose, and other sensitive areas. Sun exposure and UV light should be limited during treatment, as the skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight.
Employ it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use.

FAQs:
How should I apply Benxop Meet Wash?
You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Benxop Meet Wash cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips.

The initial dose is preferably once daily in the evening. Later, the doctor will gradually increase the dose to twice daily (most probably morning and evening).
Can I leave Benxop Meet Wash on overnight?
Benxop Meet Wash is usually applied once a day in the evening when starting treatment. After applying it, the area does not need to be washed off, so it can be left on overnight. If you notice significant irritation or discomfort, stop using it and consult your doctor.
How long does Benxop Meet Wash take to show its effects?

You may apply moisturizer an hour after applying Benxop Meet Wash. Consult your doctor in case of any doubt or concern.

What precautions should be followed while using Benxop Meet Wash?
Employ Benxop Meet Wash only on your skin. Retain it away from areas like your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Benxop Meet Wash on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds.
