A CN Gel (Topical) 20Gm

A CN Gel (Topical) is a combination medication containing Adapalene (0.1%) and Clindamycin (1%), used for the treatment of acne (pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads). It works by reducing inflammation, controlling bacterial growth, and preventing clogged pores, giving you clearer and healthier skin.

Key Benefits:

Treats mild to moderate acne by reducing pimples and blackheads
Kills acne-causing bacteria and prevents future breakouts
Unclogs pores and controls excess oil production
Reduces inflammation and redness in acne-prone skin
Prevents scarring by healing acne faster

How It Works:

• Adapalene (0.1%): A retinoid that helps unclog pores, promote skin renewal, and reduce acne formation.
• Clindamycin (1%): An antibiotic that kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation.

Together, these ingredients clear existing acne, prevent new breakouts, and improve skin texture.

How to Use A CN Gel:

1. Before using the gel, make sure your face is clean and dry.
2. Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily (at night).
3. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin.
4. Use sunscreen during the day, as Adapalene increases sun sensitivity.
5. Do not apply too much, as it may cause excessive dryness or irritation.

Possible Side Effects:

• Mild burning or stinging sensation
• Redness, dryness, or peeling of the skin
• Skin irritation or itching
• Increased sun sensitivity (use sunscreen)

These side effects are temporary and usually subside as your skin adjusts. If severe irritation occurs, consult a doctor.

Precautions & Warnings:

Not for use on sensitive or broken skin.
Avoid excessive sun exposure—use sunscreen daily.
Do not use with other strong acne treatments (e.g., benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid) without medical advice.
Do not pop pimples, as this may worsen acne and cause scarring.
