Benclin Gel is a topical medication used to treat acne vulgaris. It combines two active ingredients: Clindamycin 1%, an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth, and Anhydrous Benzoyl Peroxide 5%, which possesses antibacterial properties and helps reduce excess oil on the skin. This combination effectively decreases the number of acne lesions, including both inflammatory and non-inflammatory types.

Usage Instructions:

• Apply a thin layer of Benclin Gel to the affected areas once daily, typically in the evening.
• Before application, cleanse the skin with a mild soap, rinse with warm water, and gently pat dry.
• Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Use sunscreen during the day, as the gel can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
