Many acne treatments are available as either an antibiotic or retinoic acid by themselves, but Treclin gel combines both in one product. This can be advantageous, as research has shown that using an antibiotic alongside other treatments can be more effective than using a single treatment on its own. This can save you from needing to purchase and use two separate treatments to achieve the best results.

Treclin gel is unique because it's the only treatment that combines both tretinoin and clindamycin. This means no other acne treatment works exactly like Treclin gel does for your symptoms. You might come across treatments that use these ingredients separately or mixed with other medicines. Duac gel includes clindamycin and pairs it with benzoyl peroxide, an antibacterial agent instead of a retinoid.

Yes, you do need a prescription for Treclin gel. This is because it's not appropriate for everyone, so our clinician must ensure it's safe and suitable for you before you begin using it. Since this medication includes an antibiotic, you'll need guidance on how long to use it. This is important because if antibiotics aren't used correctly, the bacteria on your skin could become resistant, making your condition more difficult to manage.

Treclin gel isn't suitable for everyone, and there are a few things you should keep in mind when using it. Here’s all the official information about it. If you find anything confusing, please let our clinician know, and they can discuss it with you.

Treclin gel is used to treat moderate acne and contains two active ingredients. Usually, you'll apply a pea-sized amount to the affected skin areas once a day, in the evening before bedtime. You might start to see results from Treclin in a couple of weeks, but sometimes it can take a month or two to notice an improvement. Acne vulgaris, often simply called acne, is a common condition and the main reason for spots. It typically occurs because of changes in hormone levels during adolescence and can continue into early adulthood. However, it can also affect people both younger and older. Your skin's sebaceous glands can sometimes produce too much sebum, which is a natural oil that helps keep your skin moisturised. When there's an excess of sebum, it provides more food for the bacteria on your skin. These bacteria then produce waste that can block and irritate your pores, leading to spots and acne.
