Description
Marks Rub Gel helps to reduce acne, whiteheads, and blackheads. It contains clindamycin and nicotinamide as its active ingredients. Nicotinamide, or niacin, is a form of vitamin B3, while clindamycin
is an antibiotic. It is intended for external application only and should be applied precisely as recommended by your doctor. Excessive use of makeup and other products on your skin should be avoided whilst using Marks Rub Gel. Avoid popping acne, as this may lead to the spread of bacteria and pus on the skin, which can exacerbate acne and result in scarring. You may experience some side effects from this Gel, such as skin dryness, itching, and a burning sensation. Please inform your doctor if you notice that the side effects persist or worsen.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Clindamycin is an antibiotic used to treat various skin infections caused by bacteria. It inhibits growth and multiplication of acne-causing bacteria.
- Nicotinamide regulates the amount of acne-causing oil being produced by the oil glands in your skin and helps in lightening the after-marks due to pimples, acne, and other skin problems. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and reduces the swelling and redness associated with acne....
