CLIGEL-N Clindamycin 1% and Nicotinamide 4% gel

Clindamycin 1% and Nicotinamide 4%. This combination medication is widely prescribed for the treatment of acne vulgaris (pimples) and inflammatory skin lesions.

How the Ingredients Work

• Clindamycin (1%): An antibiotic that penetrates the skin and stops the growth of acne-causing bacteria (such as P. acnes).
• Nicotinamide (4%): Also known as Vitamin B3, this anti-inflammatory agent reduces redness, swelling, and tenderness associated with pimples. It also helps control excess oil (sebum) production.

How to Use the Gel

• Application: Wash your skin with a mild cleanser, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected areas. It is usually recommended for use once or twice daily.

• Sun Sensitivity: This medication can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so using a broad-spectrum sunscreen is highly advised.

Expected Timeline and Side Effects

• Results: It often takes 3 to 6 weeks to notice a significant reduction in acne and inflammation.

• Side Effects: Users may experience minor skin dryness, stinging, or peeling.
