How Does It Work?

• Benzonix Cl Gel works by the combined action of both its components: Benzoyl Peroxide and Clindamycin.
• Benzoyl Peroxide works by killing the growth of bacteria, softening and peeling (or scaling) the outer layer of the skin. It also helps in reducing blackheads and whiteheads.
• Clindamycin is an antibiotic agent which works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of acne-causing bacteria.

Interactions with other medicines

• Benzonix Cl Gel is applied externally on the skin. Hence, it is less likely to interact with other medicines taken orally. However, it may interact with other topically applied cream and Gel. Discuss with your doctor if you are already on another topical Gel or cream.
• Other acne treatments, including antibiotics for your skin, medicated soaps and cleansers, cosmetic products should be used with caution, as it may cause skin irritation.
