Frequently asked questions

Before applying Clindaris Gel, cleanse and dry the affected area thoroughly. Gently massage it into the skin. Avoid contact with your eyes or mouth. If Clindaris Gel gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and contact your doctor if irritation occurs.
How Long Should I Use Clindaris Gel?
Use Clindaris Gel as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Improvement may take several months to achieve complete acne resolution.

It might be necessary to use multiple tubes of Clindaris Gel per course of treatment.
What Does Clindaris Gel Do for Acne?
Clindaris Gel combats acne by preventing the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, a major contributor to acne. Acne is a widespread skin condition often observed during adolescence. Hormonal changes in adolescents cause increased grease production, leading to clogged pores (blackheads). Bacteria then enter these pores, triggering chemical reactions that create red, inflamed lesions filled with pus, known as acne.
