Treclin Gel

Treclin® Gel (Clindamycin 1% / Tretinoin 0.025%)

A powerful dual-action treatment for clearer, healthier-looking skin

How Treclin Works

Treclin combines two clinically proven active ingredients that work together to tackle acne from multiple angles — treating the spots you have now while helping prevent the ones that haven't appeared yet:

• Clindamycin – a topical antibiotic that targets the acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) responsible for redness, inflammation, and breakouts
• Tretinoin – a retinoid that accelerates skin cell renewal, helping to unclog pores, smooth texture, and prevent the build-up that leads to blackheads, whiteheads, and new spots

This dual approach means Treclin doesn't just treat existing acne — it helps break the cycle of recurring breakouts, supporting clearer, smoother, more even-looking skin over time.

How to Use Treclin

• Wash the affected area gently with a mild cleanser and pat completely dry
• Apply a thin, pea-sized amount of gel once daily in the evening, spreading it lightly across the entire affected area (not just individual spots)
• Wait until skin is fully dry before applying to minimise irritation
• Avoid the eyes, lips, mouth, nostrils, and any broken, sunburnt, or eczema-prone skin
• Wash hands thoroughly after application
• Use a daily sunscreen, as tretinoin increases skin's sensitivity to sunlight
• Many people notice early improvement within a few weeks, with fuller results typically building over 8–12 weeks of consistent use — sticking with it is key to getting the best long-term results

Possible Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and relate to skin adjusting to treatment, especially in the first few weeks:

Common:

• Dryness, peeling, or flaking
• Redness or mild burning/stinging sensation
• Increased sun sensitivity

Less common:

• Skin irritation or contact dermatitis
• Temporary worsening of acne in the first few weeks (as pores clear out) before improvement

If irritation is severe or persistent, patients should reduce frequency of use and speak to their prescriber or pharmacist rather than stopping treatment abruptly.

Who Can and Can't Use Treclin

Generally suitable for:

• Adults and adolescents (typically 12+) with acne vulgaris, as confirmed by a prescriber

Should NOT use Treclin if they:

• Are allergic to clindamycin, lincomycin, tretinoin, or any listed ingredients
• Are pregnant or planning pregnancy (tretinoin is not recommended in pregnancy)
• Are breastfeeding
• Have a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis
• Have eczema or other inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area
