Acnetoin Gel 15Gm

Acnetoin Gel is used for the treatment of acne vulgaris, including inflammatory acne lesions.

Uses of Acnetoin Gel are:

• Inflammatory Acne: Reduces inflamed pimples, papules, and pustules.

• Acne-Related Inflammation: Helps reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.

• Bacterial Acne Control: Helps reduce acne-causing bacteria on the skin.

Use Acnetoin Gel as instructed below:

• Before applying, cleanse the acne-prone skin areas with a mild cleanser, rinse with warm water, and pat dry.

• Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected regions, as directed by your doctor.

• Make sure to wash your hands before and after application.

• Be careful to avoid contact with eyes, lips, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs accidentally, rinse thoroughly with water.

• Always consult your doctor for personalised advice on using this medicine.

Acnetoin Gel is applied topically.

Acnetoin Gel contains two active ingredients:

• Clindamycin (1%): This antibiotic helps combat the bacteria that cause acne, especially Propionibacterium acnes. It restricts bacterial growth by stopping the formation of certain proteins that bacteria need to multiply. By limiting bacterial proliferation, clindamycin aids in reducing inflammation associated with acne.

• Nicotinamide (4%): This form of vitamin B3 acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to further reduce redness and swelling associated with acne. It also regulates oil production in your skin, which can help decrease its oiliness. Additionally, nicotinamide strengthens your skin's natural barrier function, reducing water loss and preventing the entry of irritants or bacteria.

• Store Acnetoin Gel at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it away from excessive heat and moisture.

• Do not refrigerate or freeze the gel.

• Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Stick to a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables. They are rich in antioxidants that can aid skin health and potentially ease acne symptoms.

• Regular exercise can help regulate hormonal balance and reduce stress, both of which are factors contributing to acne. Try to incorporate moderate physical activity into your daily routine.
