Achilles C 0.1/1 % Gel 15 GMis applied topically.

Achilles C 0.1/1 % Gel 15 GMconsists of two active ingredients:

• Clindamycin (1%): A lincosamide antibiotic, clindamycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to specific parts of bacterial cells called 50S ribosomal subunits. It is effective against Propionibacterium acnes, a bacterium associated with acne development.

• Adapalene (0.1%): This retinoid-like compound works by binding to specific receptors in your skin cells called retinoic acid receptors (gamma and beta). These receptors play a crucial role in controlling skin cell growth and inflammation, both of which are involved in acne development. Adapalene's action leads to reduced formation of microcomedones (tiny skin blockages), one of the first stages of acne lesion development, and decreased skin inflammation.

• Store your Achilles C 0.1/1 % Gel 15 GMbelow 30°C.

• Keep it in a dry place, protected from light.

• Do not let it freeze.

• Make sure you place it out of reach of children.

• Follow a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, as these contain antioxidants which may help improve your skin health, reducing acne inflammation.

• Minimise your exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet rays since these can worsen acne and increase skin sensitivity while using Alight Plus Gel. Use sun protection when outside.
