The ACZONE® Gel Experience

How does ACZONE® Gel fit into my daily schedule?

Twice-a-day is all it takes to get you on your way to clearer skin. Gently wash your face and apply the lightweight ACZONE® Gel. You can wear it under your make-up. It's fast and easy to apply.

When will I see results?

ACZONE® Gel gets to work right away. Clinical research shows that, when used as directed, results are seen as early as 12 weeks.1 Results can vary, however.

Can I use ACZONE® Gel with make-up?

You should always apply ACZONE® Gel before you put on any make-up or other skin product. While your first impulse may be to cover up your acne, heavy foundations can often clog pores and exacerbate the problem. Look for oil-free and non-comedogenic make-up products.

What about sunscreen or moisturizers?

You can use sunscreen and moisturizers with ACZONE® Gel, though you should seek out products that are non-comedogenic (ones that don’t clog your pores). Remember that over-exposure to sunlight can damage unprotected skin—you should always wear sunscreen!

What if I'm physically active? Do I need to re-apply after workouts?

ACZONE® Gel is indicated for twice-daily use. If applied correctly, you should not need any additional applications. As everyone’s skin type is different, you should consult with your dermatologist regarding the best treatment course for your individual needs and lifestyle.

How long do I need to stay on my medication?

You should discuss the length of your treatment with your dermatologist. Your doctor can help you achieve your best results.

Aczone

ACZONE® (dapsone) Gel 5% is approved for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not use ACZONE® Gel if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in ACZONE® Gel or if you are younger than 12 years of age.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Like all medicines, ACZONE® Gel can cause some side effects. The most common side effects of ACZONE® Gel are dryness, redness, oiliness, and peeling of the skin being treated.

When the active ingredient of ACZONE® Gel (called dapsone) is taken orally as a pill, it has been related to the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia). If you have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, you may have a greater risk for lowering your hemoglobin level. However, using ACZONE® Gel on the skin is not expected to put enough dapsone in the blood to cause clinical symptoms of hemolytic anemia. You are advised to be alert for signs and symptoms suggestive of this type of anemia (sudden onset of: back pain, breathlessness, tiredness/weakness with daily activities, dark-brown urine, high fever, and yellow or pale skin). If you experience these signs and symptoms, stop use and call your doctor immediately.

Use of benzoyl peroxide together with ACZONE® Gel at the same time may cause your skin to temporarily turn yellow or orange at the site of application.
