Acretin C Gel 30g is a prescription topical acne treatment from Jamjoom Pharma that combines two active ingredients, clindamycin and tretinoin, to target acne at its source. Clindamycin helps reduce acne-causing bacteria while tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative, promotes skin cell turnover to keep pores clear. Used under medical guidance, this combination gel helps reduce pimples, clogged pores and breakouts for clearer, smoother-looking skin over a course of treatment.

How It Works

Acretin C Gel works through two complementary actions that target different drivers of acne. Clindamycin, a lincosamide antibiotic, lowers the level of acne-causing bacteria on the skin and helps calm the inflammation behind red, sore breakouts. Tretinoin, a topical retinoid derived from vitamin A, speeds up skin cell turnover so dead cells are less likely to build up and block pores, which helps prevent new comedones such as blackheads and whiteheads from forming. By combining an antibacterial action with a pore-clearing action in a single gel, Acretin C addresses both the bacterial and the clogged-pore causes of acne at the same time, which is why it is prescribed for moderate breakouts rather than as a basic cosmetic product.

Important Information

Acretin C Gel is a prescription medicine and should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider. It is intended for acne in patients twelve years and older. Mild dryness, peeling, redness or irritation can occur, especially during the first few weeks as the skin adjusts; starting with less frequent application can help. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding without medical advice, as retinoids are not recommended in pregnancy. Avoid using other strong exfoliants or harsh products on the same areas unless your doctor advises it. Results typically take several weeks and may take up to twelve weeks to become fully apparent, so consistent use matters. If irritation is severe or your symptoms persist or worsen, stop use and consult your healthcare provider.

Acretin C Gel contains two prescription-strength active ingredients:

• Clindamycin Phosphate 1.2% - a lincosamide antibiotic that reduces acne-causing bacteria

• Tretinoin 0.025% - a vitamin A derivative (retinoid) that promotes skin cell turnover and unclogs pores

Use exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. A typical pattern is:

1. Cleanse and gently dry the affected skin before application.

2. Apply a thin, pea-sized amount to the affected area once daily, preferably at night.

3. Avoid the eyes, lips and inside of the nose, and apply a moisturiser if needed.

4. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as tretinoin can increase sun sensitivity.
