How it works
Clinark Gel is a combination of two medicines: Clindamycin and Nicotinamide. Clindamycin is an antibiotic which works by penetrating into the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B. It exerts anti-inflammatory effects when applied to the skin and reduces swelling, redness, and tenderness associated with acne.
