I'm currently using Benzac 5, but someone recently suggested Pernex AC, which is much cheaper. My tube of Benzac only lasts about two weeks and is pretty expensive compared to Pernex. I'm wondering if I can switch to Pernex instead? Is it just as effective?

Benzac AC is a topical gel that works by reducing acne-causing bacteria and removing dead skin cells. Pernex AC, on the other hand, is a combination of antibiotics that work by killing bacteria on the skin. It is not recommended to replace Benzac AC with Pernex AC without consulting your healthcare provider.
