Description

Acnetop Gel is specifically formulated to treat mild to moderate inflammatory acne, including papules and pustules. The two active ingredients work together:

Clindamycin 1% inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, reducing Cutibacterium acnes growth.

Nicotinamide 4% helps reduce inflammation, redness, and excess sebum production while supporting skin barrier repair.

This combination provides targeted treatment with lower irritation risk compared to some stronger topical agents.

It is commonly recommended for:

Inflammatory acne

Red, swollen pimples

Acne-prone oily skin

Maintenance therapy after oral antibiotics
