Product Introduction
Clindamycin 1% w/w gel is a topical antibiotic for acne vulgaris. It helps reduce inflamed pimples and redness when used as part of an acne-treatment plan.
How to use
Spread a thin film over clean, dry acne-affected skin once or twice daily according to the treatment schedule. Avoid the eyes, lips and broken skin, and wash your hands after application.
How it works
Clindamycin binds to the bacterial 50S ribosome and inhibits protein synthesis. It reduces susceptible acne-associated bacteria and the inflammation linked with them.
Side effects
Dryness, redness, itching, burning or peeling may occur. Severe or persistent diarrhoea and abdominal cramps are uncommon but important reactions even with topical clindamycin.
Important information
Tell your doctor about previous antibiotic-associated colitis, ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. Long-term antibiotic-only acne treatment encourages resistance; benzoyl peroxide may be included as part of the wider acne regimen.
Uses
- Inflammatory acne vulgaris.
Benefits
Delivers antibiotic activity directly to acne-affected skin and helps reduce inflamed pimples and redness.
Does clindamycin clear blackheads on its own?
It mainly targets inflammatory acne. Blackheads and whiteheads often respond better when treatment also addresses blocked follicles.
Is this a steroid gel?
No. Clindamycin is an antibiotic and does not contain a corticosteroid.
Why is benzoyl peroxide sometimes used with it?
Benzoyl peroxide acts differently against acne bacteria and helps reduce the development of antibiotic resistance.
Can it be continued indefinitely to prevent every spot?
Antibiotic acne courses are reassessed after several weeks. Longer-term control often uses non-antibiotic treatments rather than continuous clindamycin alone.
Can I apply make-up over the gel?
Let the thin film dry first, then use non-comedogenic make-up that is less likely to block pores.
