Acnesol 1% Gel is used to treat mild to moderate acne, especially red, inflamed pimples on the face, chest and back. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing clindamycin, which belongs to a class of antibiotics called lincosamides.
This medicine reduces acne-causing bacteria and calms the redness and swelling of pimples. Wash and dry the affected skin, then apply a thin layer to the whole area prone to acne, as directed by your doctor. Keep it away from the eyes, lips and mouth. It may take a few weeks to see improvement, so keep using it for as long as prescribed.
Using a gentle, oil-free cleanser and moisturiser, and avoiding picking or squeezing spots, can help your skin heal and reduce scarring. Limit harsh scrubs and heavy make-up while using this gel.
This gel is for use on the skin only. Before using it, tell your doctor if you have a history of colitis, Crohn's disease or diarrhoea after antibiotics, and about other skin products you use. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Contact your doctor straight away if you develop severe or persistent diarrhoea or stomach cramps, or signs of an allergic reaction. Do not stop using this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
