Medical Description
Deriva-CMS gel is a combination medication used to treat acne. It contains clindamycin, an antibiotic, and adapalene, a vitamin A derivative. Clindamycin fights bacteria that cause pimples, while adapalene helps reduce inflammation and prevents the buildup of oil and dirt. Avoid excessive use of makeup or other skin products while using this gel. Do not use it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Refrain from picking at pimples, as this can spread bacteria and pus, worsening acne and potentially causing scarring.
