How it works
Clarin IT Gel is a combination of two medicines: Clindamycin and Isotretinoin, which treat pimples (acne). Clindamycin is an antibiotic that works by penetrating into the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria. Isotretinoin is a form of vitamin A that works by reducing oil production in the skin, replenishing acne-prone skin, and helping keep your pores open.
Quick Tips
It may take several weeks to show its action. Keep using it as suggested by your doctor. Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Clarin IT Gel. Apply it as a thin layer onto a clean, dry, unbroken infected area of skin. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas. Use moisturizer regularly to overcome the skin dryness during the course of treatment.
