It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth.

How long should I use Magclin 1% Cream?

You might need multiple tubes during each course of treatment.
What does Magclin 1% Cream do for acne?
Magclin 1% Cream treats and prevents acne by inhibiting the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, which is responsible for its development. Acne is a widespread skin condition. During adolescence, the sebaceous glands in your skin produce excessive oil as a response to normal levels of sex hormones. This increased oil production can lead to clogged pores (blackheads). Bacteria then invade these clogged pores, leading to chemical reactions within the skin. These reactions result in red blemishes filled with pus known as acne.
