Acne-Max Gel 30gm is a topical anti-acne treatment containing the antibiotic clindamycin, used to help reduce pimples, inflammation, and breakouts associated with acne-prone skin. Manufactured by Medpharma and available across the UAE, this prescription-strength gel targets acne-causing bacteria and calms inflamed lesions, supporting clearer skin when used as directed by a doctor or pharmacist.

How It Works

Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, allowing acne-causing bacteria to multiply and trigger inflammation. The clindamycin in Acne-Max Gel is a topical antibiotic that acts against these bacteria on the skin surface, while its anti-inflammatory action helps soothe the redness and swelling of active spots. Some Acne-Max formulations also pair clindamycin with the retinoid tretinoin, which supports skin cell turnover to help keep pores clear. Applied as a thin layer to a clean, dry face, the gel works gradually over weeks of consistent use rather than overnight.

Important Information

This is a medicated acne treatment, not a cosmetic, and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. It is intended for use in patients aged 12 years and older, and is not recommended for younger children unless a doctor advises otherwise. Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, and broken skin. The skin may become more sensitive to sunlight, so apply daily sunscreen and limit sun and sunlamp exposure. Do not use if you are allergic to clindamycin. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other acne products, consult a healthcare provider before use. If irritation, dryness, or redness becomes severe, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children and store as directed on the packaging.

Acne-Max Gel is built around a clinically established topical acne active:

• Clindamycin (topical antibiotic) - targets acne-causing bacteria on the skin and helps reduce inflammatory lesions

• Tretinoin (topical retinoid, in combination formulations) - supports cell turnover to help unclog pores and prevent new breakouts

Product strength and the exact active combination may vary by pack, so always check the carton and patient leaflet, and confirm with your pharmacist.

Use exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. A general approach is:

1. Cleanse and fully dry the affected skin before applying.

2. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area once or twice daily, or as your doctor directs.

3. Do not exceed the recommended frequency, as more product does not clear acne faster and may increase irritation.
