Faceclin Gel is a topical medication used primarily for treating acne (pimples). It is a combination of two active ingredients that work together to combat acne and reduce skin inflammation. Here's detailed information about it:

Composition

1. Clindamycin (1%):
   

   An antibiotic that helps to stop the growth of bacteria that cause acne.

2. Nicotinamide (4%):
   

   A form of Vitamin B3 that has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce redness, swelling, and the appearance of acne.

 

Uses

• Treatment of mild to moderate acne (pimples).
• Reducing acne-related redness, swelling, and scarring.
• Preventing the growth of acne-causing bacteria.

 

How It Works

• Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, effectively reducing bacterial proliferation in acne lesions.
• Nicotinamide reduces sebum production and inflammation, improving skin texture and reducing redness.

 

How to Use

1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
2. Apply a thin layer of Faceclin Gel directly to the affected areas of the skin once or twice a day (as directed by your doctor).
3. Avoid applying on broken or irritated skin.
4. Wash your hands after applying.

 

Side Effects

Common side effects are usually mild and include:

• Skin irritation or redness.
• Dryness or peeling of the skin.
• Itching or burning sensation at the application site.

If severe side effects occur (e.g., severe rash, swelling, or allergic reactions), stop using the gel and consult your doctor.

 

Precautions

• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or inside the nose.
• Do not apply on cuts, wounds, or sunburnt skin.
• Use sunscreen during the day, as acne medications can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
• Avoid using other acne products (especially those containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid) unless advised by a doctor.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children.

 

General Advice

• Consistent use is key for best results, but improvement may take a few weeks.
• Do not use it without a doctor's recommendation if pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to its ingredients.
