Acanya Gel

August 18th, 2009

Acanya gel is the newest combination product for acne that contains both clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide. The other combination products that have these two active ingredients are Duac gel and Benzaclin gel. So what’s the difference? Well, the more veteran combo products contain benzoyl peroxide in a 5% strength, while Acanya Gel contains only 2.5%.

So is less more? Well, studies have shown that benzoyl peroxide tends to do a good job regardless of the strength and that higher doses may contribute to a higher risk of irritation. So, with Acanya Gel, the idea is that you are still getting the advantages of a benzoyl peroxide withouth the irritation.

So if you have more easily irritated skin, consider speaking with your dermatologist about Acanya gel. You can even ask for a money saving card and look for other savings offers on Prescription Perks.com at their Acanya Gel offer page.
