Clindasil-A Gel is a gold-standard treatment for moderate to severe acne. By combining a third-generation retinoid with a powerful topical antibiotic, it addresses acne from multiple angles.
It is clinically indicated for:
-
Inflammatory Acne: Clindamycin acts as an antibiotic that stops the growth of acne-causing bacteria and reduces redness.
-
Comedonal Acne: Adapalene helps regulate skin cell turnover, preventing pores from becoming clogged with oil and dead skin (comedones).
-
Skin Texture Improvement: Regular use helps refine skin texture and can reduce the appearance of post-acne marks.
-
Oil Control: The gel base is non-greasy and helps manage excess sebum on the skin’s surface.
Manufactured by Searle, Clindasil-A is a trusted choice for dermatologists seeking to provide patients with clear, healthy-looking skin.
Key Benefits
-
Dual Action: Simultaneously kills bacteria and exfoliates the inner lining of pores.
-
Fast Results: Noticeable reduction in pimple size and redness within a few weeks.
-
Prevents Scarring: By treating acne early and effectively, it helps minimize the risk of permanent scarring.
-
Non-Comedogenic: The lightweight gel formula does not clog pores further.
-
Dermatologist Recommended: A proven combination for persistent hormonal and cystic acne.
Directions for Use
-
Wash the affected area with a mild, non-medicated cleanser and pat dry.

Apply a thin film of Clindasil-A gel to the entire affected area (not just the spots) once daily at bedtime.

-
Wash hands thoroughly after application.
-
Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer if dryness occurs.
Safety & Precautions
-
Rx Only: A valid medical prescription is mandatory.
-
Sun Sensitivity: Adapalene increases sensitivity to UV light. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) during the day.
-
Initial Breakout: You may experience a slight worsening of acne during the first few weeks; this is normal as the skin clears out.
-
Avoid Harsh Products: Do not use with harsh soaps, abrasive scrubs, or other drying agents (like salicylic acid or alcohol-based toners) unless advised by a doctor.
-
Pregnancy: Consult your dermatologist before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
