About Episcale CN Gel 15 gm
Episcale CN Gel 15 gm belongs to the class of drugs known as 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat inflamed acne. It minimizes the formation of excessive natural oil, known as sebum. It also reduces swelling caused due to acne. Acne is a skin-related problem in which the skin's oil glands (sebaceous glands) become clogged, thereby forming pimples and sometimes cysts.
Episcale CN Gel 15 gm is composed of two medicines: Clindamycin, Nicotinamide, and Allantoin. Clindamycin is a lincomycin antibiotic that penetrates the skin and kills acne-causing bacteria. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B responsible for exerting anti-inflammatory effects applied to the skin. Allantoin is a moisturizing agent that forms an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps in the water. Thereby moisturizing the outermost layer of skin and making it smoother and softer. Also, it breaks down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure), removes dead skin cells, and softens skin. Altogether it stops or slows down the growth of bacteria and prevents the growth of acne.

Medicinal Benefits
Episcale CN Gel 15 gm contains Clindamycin, Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3), and Allantoin. Clindamycin is a well-known bacteriostatic antibiotic that treats acne, bacterial infection, and scars and is suitable for both dry and wet skin. The topical application of clindamycin helps heal acne by killing the acne-causing bacteria and prevents further bacterial skin infections. Nicotinamide is a synthetic form of Vitamin B3 that stimulates ceramide (fats found on the uppermost layer of the skin) synthesis and improves the epidermal permeability barrier functions, making skin look supple and soft. Allantoin is a moisturizing agent that forms an oily layer on the top of the skin and traps it in the water. Thereby moisturising the outermost layer of skin and making it smoother and softer. Also, it breaks down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure), removes dead skin cells, and softens skin. Altogether, it stops or slows down bacteria's growth, causing acne, and heals the skin by reducing swelling and redness.
