Cost
The average cost of the drug can vary depending on the pricing policy of the pharmacy chain, the region of sale and is about 750 rubles. For such a price, you can buy Baziron AS with any dosage of the active component.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The active component in the gel - benzoyl peroxide - has a pronounced antimicrobial effect, which is aimed at eliminating the activity of bacteria and microorganisms that provoke suppuration in the hair follicle. Among benzoyl peroxide-sensitive ones are Propionibacterium acnes anaerobes that produce fatty butyric acid, as well as Staphylococcus epidermidis (epidermal staphylococcus). It is worth noting that these pathogens do not have the ability to produce species that will be resistant to benzoyl peroxide.
Under the influence of the drug, the following therapeutic effects are observed:
- The severity of erythema (redness) and inflammation is reduced. Studies confirm that the activity and growth of Propionibacterium acnes after a week of application of the gel is reduced by 94%, and after two weeks - by 96-99%.
- The nutrition of cells and their saturation with oxygen improves.
- The activity of the sebaceous glands is suppressed, as a result of which the production of sebum (sebum) is reduced. This reduces the nutrient medium for Propionibacterium acnes, which consumes fatty acids.
- Keratolytic activity is manifested, it occurs by splitting the horny plates of the epidermis, which, along with sebum, are involved in the formation of acne plugs that clog pores.
- Excessive amount of sebaceous secretion is absorbed.
- Previously formed comedones dissolve by destroying the bacterial film and pulling the sebum-epithelial plug from the pore.
- The acrylate copolymer and glycerin in the complex are capable of absorbing excess sebum and moisturizing the epidermis.
- Thanks to the antioxidant properties of benzoyl peroxide, inhibition of tissue aging and a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin are ensured.
- Post-acne is eliminated (secondary changes after acne damage) in the form of spots, scars, seals, pigmentation disorders. According to reviews, “Baziron AS” for acne quickly helps.
After application, biochemical transformations occur, in which 96% of the active component is involved. As a result, an intermediate metabolite is formed - benzoic acid, which is absorbed and penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin. Under the influence of benzoic acid, a therapeutic effect arises. Further, the metabolite enters the bloodstream and is transported to the kidneys, through which it is quickly excreted from the body along with urine.
Studies confirm that the active component in the bloodstream and epidermis does not accumulate. This means that Baziron AS, if it is used in recommended doses, is capable of exerting only local therapeutic effect (on the area of the skin on which the gel was applied), it does not affect the body as a whole. Thus, systemic effects do not occur with the use of the medication.
Indications for the use of Baziron AS
"Baziron AS" is indicated for patients who have the following pathological conditions:
- Acne, which is a process of blockage of the sebaceous canal in the area of the hair follicle, as well as papulopustular forms, i.e. ulcers.
- Spot inflammation on the surface of the skin and acne.
- White (closed) and black (open) comedones.
- Trophic ulcers. The use of Baziron AS in the treatment of trophic ulcers revealed its new property - against the background of its use, blood circulation is activated, oxygenation and tissue nutrition are observed, as a result of which the healing time of the epidermis is reduced.

Using
Adult patients should apply Baziron AS once or twice a day. The recommended frequency of use depends on the severity of the pathology. The gel is applied to problem areas of the skin with a very thin layer. Previously, they should be cleaned of grease and dirt, and also dry gently. Therapy using gel has some features:
- If acne or blackheads are sporadic, then spot gel application is optimal, i.e. clean areas should not be covered with medicine.
- A positive effect begins to appear after 7-10 days, a pronounced effect is noticeable after a month of using the product.
- The full duration of the course of therapy can reach 3 months.
- Therapy with Baziron AS should not be interrupted. Even if the desired effect was achieved earlier than the recommended course ended, the use of the gel should continue. This will fix the therapeutic effect.
- With the appearance of obvious improvements, it is acceptable to reduce the frequency of application of the gel. That is, you can apply it not twice a day, but once. You can reduce the amount of applied product.
- If the patient's dermatological pathologies have a moderate or mild course, then Baziron AS can be used as a single drug. That is, there is no need for complex treatment.
- If there are pustular lesions, acne is severe, it is recommended to combine the gel with other general or local drugs: antiandrogens, antibiotics, glucocorticosteroids, retinoids.
- If necessary, on the recommendation of a dermatologist, the course of therapy can be repeated.
Clinical studies show that the effectiveness and effectiveness of the drug directly depends on the concentration of the active component in it. However, experts, in order to avoid the development of undesirable resistance to benzoyl peroxide and the occurrence of irritation, recommend starting gel treatment with a minimum concentration of the substance. Photos before and after Baziron AS and reviews will be considered below.
For initial use, the optimal choice is the drug, which contains 25 mg of benzoyl peroxide per 1 g of product, i.e. the dosage of the gel should be 2.5%.
If the patient needs a second course of treatment, then a 5% gel can be used.
The use of Baziron AS in a dosage of 10% is acceptable in cases where there are pronounced manifestations on the skin that do not disappear when using the drug with a lower concentration of benzoyl peroxide, as well as if lower dosages do not cause the desired therapeutic effect.
The use of the gel for the treatment of children under 12 years old, especially newborns, is strictly prohibited.
To date, special tests for the possibility of using the gel in pregnant women have not been conducted. Thus, specialists do not have sufficient information about the effect of benzoyl peroxide on the embryo, during pregnancy and childbirth. There is also no data on the teratogenicity of the active component, and therefore the use of Baziron AS is not recommended for women who have a baby.
There are also no clinical data on the ability of benzoyl peroxide to pass into breast milk. In this regard, the risk of exposure to infants should not be completely excluded. Therefore, doctors do not recommend nursing mothers to apply the product on the skin in the area of the mammary glands.
Reviews of dermatologists about Baziron AS will also be presented.
Contraindications
The medication is not recommended for use:
- Women during gestation.
- Children under 12 years old.

Special instructions for use
In the first few days (usually 3-5) of the use of the medication, the patient may experience slight tingling, burning, redness, and peeling of the skin. Such phenomena are not dangerous, most often weakly expressed, completely disappear in a few days.
If the patient develops severe irritation of the skin, the use of the drug should be immediately suspended until the unpleasant symptoms disappear. After this, the course of therapy should be resumed, reducing the number of applications and changing the concentration of the gel. With the repeated development of side effects, it is important to completely abandon its use.
According to reviews of Baziron AS from acne on the face, with excessive application of the product with a thick layer, its therapeutic effect does not increase, however, the epidermis is overdried, the patient develops irritation, as well as accelerated addiction to the medication.
When using the medication, it is important to observe the following recommendations:
- It is forbidden to apply the gel to skin areas with wounds, lesions and signs of erosion.
- If the medicine accidentally enters the mucous membranes, eyes, nose or mouth, it is urgent to rinse with warm water.
- During the course of treatment, active exposure to sunlight on the treated areas should be avoided. This will prevent the development of severe irritation and hyperpigmentation. Benzoyl peroxide enhances skin sensitivity to ultraviolet light. Experts recommend using large sunglasses, visors, and products with a high degree of sun protection during this period.
- The parallel use of alcohol-containing and skin-drying products is not recommended.
- It is important to keep in mind that when the gel comes into contact with colored hair or materials, it can cause a change in their color.

Reviews about Baziron AC
Different patients in their reviews indicate different periods during which they showed a clear improvement. This is due to the severity of the inflammatory process, the patient’s presence of internal diseases that provoke inflammation of the skin, as well as how carefully the treatment recommendations were followed. Most patients who have ever been treated with the Baziron AS medical gel respond positively to the drug, noting that the drug is really effective and allowed them to easily get rid of acne and acne.
The main disadvantage of the drug is that, against the background of its use, local undesirable effects develop, such as drying of the skin, irritation, as well as the need to use the gel for a long period of time.
Some patients in the reviews on the Baziron AS gel report that the desired effect of using the drug was achieved quite quickly, while others note that the effect was completely absent.
Dermatologists often explain the lack of effect as errors when using a medical gel. For example, some patients miss application, take breaks. Others use it as a monotherapy drug while they have an abscess infection, severe infection, serious hormonal disorders and require complex treatment.
Reviews of dermatologists about Baziron AS confirm that a complicated acne process also requires the parallel use of other drugs, including retinoids, hormones, antibiotics (intended for both local and systemic use).
As an undoubted advantage of the drug, patients note its availability, a small number of contraindications and the absence of severe side effects. As a minus, a rather high cost of the drug is noted.
Despite the large number of positive reviews about the use of Baziron AS, it should be used only as directed by a dermatologist. This will minimize unwanted effects, as well as make therapy as effective as possible. It is important to remember that self-medication can lead to a worsening of the condition, to the development of a large number of undesirable effects.
