How it works
Femcinol-ADP Gel is a combination of two medicines: Adapalene and Clindamycin, which treats pimples (acne). Adapalene is a form of vitamin A which prevents accumulation of the sebum (skin’s natural oil), unblocks the pores and allows natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin. Clindamycin is an antibiotic which works by penetrating into the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria.
Quick Tips
Apply it as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by acne. Avoid getting it in your eyes or mouth. If this happens, rinse with water immediately. Do not apply to broken, sunburnt or sensitive areas of skin. Inform your doctor if you notice unusual dryness, redness, and peeling of the skin. It makes your skin more sensitive toward sunlight. Apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing while stepping out. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
