Description

Treclin Gel 30g is a prescription topical treatment used for managing mild to moderate acne, combining two highly effective active ingredients: Clindamycin and Tretinoin. These ingredients work synergistically to help reduce existing acne and prevent new breakouts.

  • Clindamycin is an antibiotic that targets the bacteria responsible for acne, reducing infection and inflammation.
  • Tretinoin is a form of Vitamin A (retinoid) that helps to speed up skin cell turnover, preventing the build-up of dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to acne.

This dual-action gel is designed to reduce pimples, blackheads, and inflammation while promoting smoother and clearer skin over time.

  • Treclin Gel is available in a single strength, with each gram of gel containing:
