Medical Description
Clinsol gel is an anti-acne medication. It is a topical preparation used for the management of acne, pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. Faceclin gel, Glocin gel, Nioclean gel, Acnestar gel and Femcinol A gel also have similar ingredients as Clinsol gel.
Acne is a common skin condition that develops when oil and dead skin cells block the hair follicles. It may develop whiteheads, blackheads, pimples or acne cysts. Bacteria on the skin may cause inflammation and infection, leading to more severe acne. Acne is more common in teenagers, but anyone can get acne.
It contains a combination of clindamycin and nicotinamide as its active ingredients. Nicotinamide/niacin is a form of vitamin B3 and clindamycin is an antibiotic. Clinsol gel works by reducing the growth and multiplication of acne-causing bacteria. It also helps lighten the after-marks due to pimples, acne and other skin problems.
You may experience a few side effects of Clinsol gel, such as skin dryness, itching and a burning sensation. Usually, these side effects are temporary and go away with time. However, you should report to your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.
