Deriva Bpo Gel 20Gm

DERIVA BPO Gel is used in the management of acne vulgaris. It helps reduce excess oil production, prevents blockage of skin pores, and controls the growth of acne-causing bacteria.

Uses of Deriva Bpo Gel are:

• Acne Vulgaris: Reduces excess oil production, prevents clogged pores and controls acne-causing bacteria.

Here's how you should use Deriva Bpo Gel 20gm:

• Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application.
• Apply a thin layer of the gel on the affected areas.
• Wash your hands both before and after applying the gel.
• Avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, angles of your nose and mucous membranes.
• Do not apply on cuts, abrasions or sunburned skin.
• Minimise exposure to sunlight and use sunscreen. Consult your doctor for more specific advice.

Deriva Bpo Gel 20gm is applied topically.

Deriva Bpo Gel 20gm contains two active ingredients:

• Adapalene (0.1%): This third-generation topical retinoid binds to specific retinoic acid nuclear receptors in your skin cells and modulates their growth and maturation processes. By doing so, adapalene normalises the growth of skin cells within hair follicles, reducing the formation of acne-causing blockages called microcomedones.
• Benzoyl peroxide (2.5%): As an oxidising agent with antibacterial and exfoliating effects, benzoyl peroxide releases free oxygen radicals which kill acne-causing bacteria in hair follicles by oxidising their proteins. Its exfoliating effect aids in the expulsion of comedones – blocked hair follicles that cause acne – thereby helping to clear your pores.

• Store Deriva Bpo Gel 20gm in a dry place at room temperature, specifically below 25°C.
• Do not freeze.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high heat.
• Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination.
• Always keep out of reach of children to ensure safety.

• Since Deriva Bpo Gel 20gm is used to manage acne, consider reducing your intake of oily and sugary foods as they can potentially worsen acne conditions.
• Incorporate a regular skincare routine that includes cleansing your face at least twice a day, which can help reduce excess oil and dirt, further preventing acne flare-ups.
