Buy Treclin Gel Online in the UK
Treclin contains the active substances clindamycin and tretinoin. Clindamycin is an antibiotic. It limits the growth of bacteria associated with acne and the inflammation caused by these bacteria.
Tretinoin normalizes the growth of superficial skin cells and causes normal shedding of the cells that clog the hair follicles in areas with acne. This prevents the build-up of sebum and the formation of early acne lesions (blackheads and whiteheads).
These active substances (clindamycin and tretinoin) are more effective when combined than when used separately.
Treclin Gel is applied topically to the skin to treat acne in patients 12 years old and over.

How to use Treclin 1%/0.025% w/w Gel 30g
The recommended dose is: A pea-sized amount of Treclin should be applied once daily at bedtime.
Method of administration: Wash your face gently with mild soap and warm water and pat your skin dry with a towel. Squeeze a pea-sized amount of gel onto the fingertip. Dab the gel on your forehead, chin, nose and both cheeks, and then gently spread it evenly over your whole face. Do not use more than the amount that has been suggested by your doctor, or apply the product more frequently than instructed. Too much medication may irritate the skin, and will not give faster or better results.
Duration of treatment: To get the best results with Treclin, it is necessary to use it properly and not stop using it as soon as your acne starts to get better. Typically, it may take several weeks to have an optimal effect. In some cases, it may take up to 12 weeks. Please contact your doctor if symptoms persist for more than 12 weeks,
