Treclin Gel is an effective topical medication specifically designed to combat moderate to severe facial acne. It combines two powerful active ingredients, clindamycin and tretinoin, which offer a well-rounded approach to acne treatment by targeting multiple aspects of acne development.
Clindamycin targets and inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, most commonly associated with acne breakouts. By reducing the presence of these acne-causing bacteria, Treclin Gel helps control inflammation and prevent the formation of new blemishes.
Tretinoin promotes the exfoliation of dead skin cells, preventing them from clogging pores and forming comedones (such as blackheads and whiteheads). By keeping the pores clear, tretinoin helps to prevent the development of new acne lesions.
Treclin Gel's formulation can also help fade acne scars and marks. Tretinoin promotes skin cell turnover and stimulates collagen production, aiding in the improvement of skin texture and the fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Treclin Gel is approved by the NHS and is typically recommended for moderate to severe cases of acne. As a prescription-only medication, Treclin Gel must be prescribed by a doctor or healthcare professional. For convenience, it can be purchased from WePrescribe after a brief online consultation form is completed.
Treclin Gel starts working immediately, with visible improvements typically seen within a few weeks.
