Frequently asked questions
How to use Clidis Cream?
Before applying Clidis Cream, cleanse and dry the affected area thoroughly. Gently massage it into the skin. Avoid contact with your eyes or mouth. If Clidis Cream gets into your eyes, flush them with plenty of water and consult your doctor if irritation occurs.
How long should I use Clidis Cream?
Use Clidis Cream for the duration prescribed by your healthcare provider. Treatment may require several months to achieve complete acne clearance. Even initial benefits may manifest in a few weeks, followed by gradual but noticeable improvement. Usually, maximum usage of Clidis Cream is recommended for up to 12 weeks, and you may need multiple tubes during each treatment course.
What does Clidis Cream do for acne?
Clidis Cream treats and prevents acne by inhibiting the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, a primary cause of acne. Acne is a prevalent skin condition triggered by the increased production of oil in skin glands during puberty in response to hormones. This excess oil can clog pores (blackheads), allowing bacteria to invade, leading to red inflamed spots filled with pus, known as acne.
