Peroclin Gel 5%

Peroclin Gel 5% is a clinically proven topical acne treatment formulated with a powerful combination of Clindamycin Phosphate and Benzoyl Peroxide, two dermatologist-recommended ingredients known for their complementary action against acne-causing bacteria and inflammation. This dual-action gel is widely prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris, including inflamed pimples, pustules, papules, and acne lesions associated with redness and swelling.

Acne develops when pores become clogged with excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria—most commonly Cutibacterium acnes. Peroclin Gel addresses all major causes of acne in a single formulation, making it a preferred option for patients who require faster, more effective acne control without using multiple products.

How Peroclin Gel 5% Works

Clindamycin Phosphate is a topical antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively reducing the population of acne-causing bacteria on the skin. By controlling bacterial growth, clindamycin helps reduce inflammation, redness, and the formation of painful acne lesions.

Benzoyl Peroxide, on the other hand, is a potent antibacterial and keratolytic agent. It penetrates deep into the pores to eliminate bacteria, reduce excess oil production, and promote the shedding of dead skin cells. Unlike antibiotics alone, benzoyl peroxide helps prevent antibiotic resistance, making the combination therapy more effective for long-term acne management.

Together, these ingredients deliver faster visible results, fewer new breakouts, and improved skin texture over time.

Who Can Use Peroclin Gel?

Peroclin Gel is suitable for adolescents and adults suffering from mild to moderate acne. It is commonly recommended for acne on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. Dermatologists often prescribe it as a first-line therapy or as part of a broader acne treatment regimen.

How to Use Peroclin Gel
