About Faceclin Gel

Faceclin Gel is a combination medication used in the treatment of acne. Acne is a skin condition characterised by blocked pores that lead to an unsightly appearance of the skin, consisting of blackheads, whiteheads and pimples.

Faceclin Gel is composed of Clindamycin and Nicotinic acid. Clindamycin nips the growth of bacteria in the bud by blocking protein synthesis. Nicotinic acid has anti-inflammatory properties and enhances the overall appearance of skin and complexion by reversing cellular damage and increasing the layers of healthy skin cells.

In some cases, Faceclin Gel may cause certain very occasional side effects such as skin irritation, burning sensation, and oiliness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects consistently.

Please inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor before using Faceclin Gel during pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding. Avoid getting Faceclin Gel in your eyes, nose or mouth. If contact occurs, wash with water immediately. Do not apply Faceclin Gel to cuts, open wounds, broken, sunburnt or sensitive areas of skin.

Uses of Faceclin Gel

Acne vulgaris.

Directions for Use

Clean and dry the affected area. Apply Faceclin Gel to the affected areas of the skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying.

Medicinal Benefits

Faceclin Gel contains Clindamycin and Nicotinic acid. Faceclin Gel is used to treat acne vulgaris. Clindamycin is an anti-bacterial that suppresses the growth of acne-forming bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes. Clindamycin interrupts protein synthesis by binding to the cell units of bacteria, thereby inhibiting their growth and division. Nicotinic acid is a form of Vitamin B3. It functions as an anti-inflammatory agent, relieving the face of any redness, soreness or puffiness caused by acne. It also helps in collagen (major skin protein) production, thereby enhancing the appearance of the skin. In addition, niacinamide regulates sebum production, thereby finding use in the treatment of acne which occurs because of excess sebum production. Faceclin Gel hence is very effective in treating acne.

Storage

Keep Faceclin Gel out of reach and sight of children.

Focused exercises can improve strength and reduce burning by soothing muscles.
Change in lifestyle and improving nutrition can reduce the causes of burning sensation and provide relief.
Your doctor may suggest nerve block injections as it is related to sensation in the skin.

Limit spicy foods and other foods that can cause redness.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Exfoliate your skin lightly but regularly. This helps wash away dry and dead cells, cleansing the skin.
Protect your skin with a prescribed sunblock, hat or any sun screening accessories alongside, as exposure to the sun worsens pigmentation.
Refresh your sunscreen every 4 hours for optimal protection.
Avoid wearing tight and dark-coloured clothing on the affected area after applying the Faceclin Gel.
Exercise regularly. Exercising can help acne-prone skin by unclogging pores. However, make sure to limit your exposure to the sun.
Load up on green leafy vegetables like spinach, oily fish and citrus fruit to help brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation.
Almonds, blueberries, avocados and nuts are rich in antioxidants and very helpful in preventing inflammation and improving the quality of the skin.
Lower your carb intake, and avoid inflammatory drinks such as packaged juices, sweetened tea and carbonated drinks. Also, avoid any foods you may be allergic to.
Keeping your skin hydrated by drinking enough water can also do wonders for the overall quality of your skin.
Always wash your makeup before sleeping. Never go to bed with makeup on.
Try to avoid picking your pimples and spots as this can worsen the situation and lead to scarring.
