Clear T Gel is a topical treatment designed primarily for the management of acne. It contains clindamycin, an antibiotic that helps to stop the growth of bacteria associated with acne, and isotretinoin, a retinoid that aids in unclogging pores and reducing inflammation.
Key Uses
Clear T Gel is indicated for:
- Acne Treatment: It effectively reduces the number and severity of acne lesions and promotes faster healing of the skin.
Mechanism of Action
- Clindamycin: An antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby reducing the population of acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
- Isotretinoin: A retinoid that helps in normalizing skin cell turnover, preventing clogged pores, and reducing inflammation.
