Description
Faceclin A Gel is used for the treatment and management of acne. It comprises two medications, clindamycin and adapalene. Clindamycin is an antibiotic, while adapalene is a derivative of vitamin A. F
aceclin A Gel inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause spots, reduces inflammation, and prevents the formation of blemishes due to the accumulation of oil and dirt. Wash your hands after applying this Gel. Do not use Faceclin A for any other condition. Excessive use of makeup and other skin products should be avoided while using this Gel.
