Review (Clindac A) Clindamycin Phosphate Gel
Hey everyone!
When the skin is on a bout of acne and you just need
something that can cure and prevent it. I had been through this phase an year
and half ago and even after that those occasional pimples have never fully left
me alone! Every now and then they will pop up on the noticeable places you will
never wish them to be. Now that when people say that I have clear skin. I have only
two things to say, first, drinking a lot of water (I know you have heard it zillions of times,
but honestly this is what I give credit to) and secondly Clindamycin phosphate gel.
This gel was actually prescribed to me by a dermatologist ages ago but once I
recovered from acne, I forgot about that. It’s just that recently an year and
half ago when I faced the same problem, I run for this again. Clindamycin
phosphate gel is manufactured by a lot of different brands though I use Clindac
A which is marketed by Galderma. This might be my fourth tube so far. It is
priced at 105 Ruppes only for 15g.
Clindac-A 1% contains clindamycin phosphate as the active
ingredient which is an antibiotic responsible for killing the bacteria that causes skin
infection. Apart from that, It also contains carbomer 941, methylparaben,
polyethylene glycol 400, propylene glycol, sodium hydroxide, and purified
water. All this information is given on
the pack itself. It can be a good solution for treating mild to moderate acne.
I have also used other prescribed skin creams for acne which used to peel the skin and their cream formula
have never suit me. Whereas with this, I really like that it is a clear gel
which has this aloe Vera gel kind of feel to it and will get evaporate/absorbed
leaving behind nothing.
When I was fighting acne, this gel has helped clearing them
out and results were seen within 5- 6 days. Since then I have relied on this.
Now that I don’t have a lot of pimples on my face but still I use it to fight
the occasional pimples that it can clear out within 3-4 days. I will make sure
that once in a week, before going to bed, I will use it on my entire face where
pimples are more likely to be formed.
I find this better than the pimple clearing gels like the
ones from VLCC, Garnier etc. I have used them all and they were far more
expensive than this. Literally as of
now, I really can’t do without this. I can’t help acne eruption. I can only
combat then with this Clindamycin Phosphate gel.
Please note that, I have said what I do and as a lot of you
have asked for it, but please it’s a prescribed medicine, therefore, I will STRONGLY
recommend that you to go through the instructions and the indications that
comes along with this even if it can be well tolerated!
I would suggest you to use this if you have mild to moderate
acne but for severe acne and infections, I would recommend, seeking
dermatologist’s help and advice.
I hope you find this post helpful!
