Supatret C Aqueous Gel is a combination of two medicines: Clindamycin and Tretinoin. Clindamycin is an antibiotic which works by penetrating into the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A which reduces oil production in the skin, replenishes the skin and helps keep your pores open.

Apply as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by acne. Clean the area to be treated with water and a non-medicated soap and let it dry for 20-30 minutes before applying the medicine. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas. Avoid exposure to sunlight while using Supatret C Aqueous Gel as it increases the sensitivity of your skin. Use protective measures such as sun-cream or protective clothing. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
