SKU GME1223Skin Care
Product Introduction
Clindamycin 1% w/w + Tretinoin 0.04% w/w gel treats acne with both blocked follicles and inflammatory lesions. Its retinoid and antibiotic actions target complementary parts of the acne process.
How to use
Apply a thin layer once nightly to clean, fully dry acne-affected skin. Avoid the eyelids, lips and skin creases, and use sunscreen during the day. Let irritated or sunburned skin recover before applying a retinoid.
How it works
Tretinoin changes follicular cell turnover, helping prevent and clear comedones. Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and reduces acne-related inflammatory bacterial activity.
Side effects
Redness, peeling, dryness, burning and increased sun sensitivity may occur early on. Severe or persistent diarrhoea is an uncommon but important clindamycin-related reaction.
Important information
Avoid use during pregnancy or when planning pregnancy because the gel contains tretinoin. Tell your doctor about previous colitis. Waxing, abrasive cleansers and strong peeling agents can injure retinoid-treated skin.
Uses
- Acne vulgaris with comedones and inflammatory papules or pustules.
Benefits
Treats visible inflammatory spots while reducing the blocked follicles from which new lesions develop.
Is this the same as clindamycin-only acne gel?
No. Tretinoin adds a pore-clearing retinoid action and also introduces retinoid-related irritation and pregnancy precautions.
Why can the skin peel during the first weeks?
Tretinoin changes surface-cell turnover. Mild early peeling can occur, but severe burning or cracked skin is not a reason to apply more.
When can the result be judged fairly?
Acne improves gradually; a useful assessment generally needs several weeks, often around eight to twelve weeks.
Should benzoyl peroxide be applied at the same time?
Benzoyl peroxide can irritate retinoid-treated skin and degrade some tretinoin formulations. Separate morning and evening application is often used when both are part of the acne regimen; do not layer them at the same time without formulation-specific instructions.
Does a microsphere formulation remove pregnancy precautions?
No. A delivery-system change does not remove the precautions associated with topical tretinoin.
