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
Clindamycin (1%):
An antibiotic that helps to stop the growth of bacteria that cause acne.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
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
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).
Avoid applying on broken or irritated skin.
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.
