How long should I use Zyclin Nano Gel?

The maximum recommended use of Zyclin Nano Gel is 12 weeks; however, in some cases, additional tubes of the medication may be needed during each treatment course.
What does Zyclin Nano Gel do for acne?
Zyclin Nano Gel treats and prevents acne by inhibiting the growth of bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) which is a known cause. Acne is a prevalent skin condition that occurs during adolescence due to increased sebum production from the skin's oil glands in response to typical hormone fluctuations. This excess sebum can clog pores, leading to blackheads. Bacteria then invade these blocked pores, releasing chemicals that penetrate deeper into the skin and create red spots filled with pus known as acne.
Is Zyclin Nano Gel effective?
Zyclin Nano Gel is effective when used in the dosage and duration recommended by your healthcare provider. Do not discontinue use even if you experience a decrease in symptoms. If you stop using it prematurely, acne symptoms may return or worsen.
