Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Niclin Gel combines two medications: Clindamycin and Niacin/Vitamin B3/Niacinamide
Clindamycin is an antibiotic. It works primarily by binding to various structures inside the cells of the bacteria. This prevents the synthesis of protein by the bacterial cells. It results in lowering the growth and multiplication of the bacterial cells. It ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria that causes acne.
Niacin is vitamin B3. It helps increase the amount of keratin, a type of protein that helps improve the skin firmness and makes it healthy. It can also help the skin grow a ceramide (lipid) barrier, which can help the skin retain hydration and moisture. It Is helpful for all skin types, especially in the case of acne when the skin gets dry and dehydrated....
