BENEFITS OF CLIGEL GEL

In Treatment of Acne

Cligel Gel is a combination medicine that helps treat acne (commonly called pimples) by reducing the production of excessive oil in the skin that causes acne.
This also kills acne-causing bacteria and prevents spots or pimples from appearing.
It usually takes a few weeks to have a noticeable effect so keep using it even if it appears not to be working.
Sometimes acne may get worse before it gets better, however, with proper use, your skin will get clearer.
The earlier you start using it, the less likely you are to get scars.
This medicine will help improve your mood and uplift your confidence as your skin becomes acne free.

SIDE EFFECTS OF CLIGEL GEL

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

HOW TO USE CLIGEL GEL

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

HOW CLIGEL GEL WORKS

Cligel  Gel is a combination of two medicines: Clindamycin and Tretinoin, which treats pimples (acne). 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.
