How it works

Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Clin Bpo Gel for the treatment of acne. Use a mild soap and lukewarm water to wash with. Apply a thin layer on the affected area. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas. During your treatment, your doctor may ask you to use another (non-antibiotic) skin preparation from time to time. Be patient and keep using it every day. If your skin has not improved even after completing the prescribed time, consult your doctor.
