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.
