Uses of Peroclin Gel 5%
Peroclin Gel 5% is primarily used to treat and control Acne Vulgaris, commonly known as acne. This acne treatment medicine also has a mild drying effect, washing away excess oil and dirt from the skin. Peroclin Gel keeps your skin pores open and prevents bacterial growth, reducing frequent acne breakouts.
How does Peroclin Gel 5% work?
Peroclin Gel 5% contains two active ingredients that work together to treat acne and prevent its recurrence.
Clindamycin (Antibiotic)
Clindamycin is one of the most commonly used acne treatment medicines. It belongs to the Antibiotic class and works by stopping the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Clindamycin prevents the synthesis of certain proteins that are essential for reproduction, resulting in cell lysis. Hence, it decreases swelling and frequent acne breakouts.
Benzoyl Peroxide (Keratolytic Agent)
Benzoyl Peroxide dissolves Keratin protein, keeping the skin pores open and reducing acne breakouts. It also eliminates dead skin cells, blackheads, and whiteheads and softens the skin. Benzoyl Peroxide also has antibacterial properties that kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce acne spots. Thus, it replenishes the skin.
