    Benzac AC Wash is now phased out according to one of your representative that i've talk. I asked why and she didn't gave me answer. She just said she didn't know. So I'm the same question why? Thank you and hoping for your response as soon as possible.

    i was also looking for this facial wash in every drug store here in our place but just like what you've said, the item was already phased out. it's a sad thing that a good product is already gone. they are offering me the benzac gel but im not really ok using it. it's like eating an ice cream without taste at all.
