• Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas.

✔️ Medicinal Benefits of Acne-SM Gel

Acne-SM Gel combines Clindamycin and Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) to provide effective treatment for acne and related skin concerns:

• Clindamycin:
  • A bacteriostatic antibiotic that halts the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
  • Helps heal existing acne, prevents further bacterial infections, and is suitable for both dry and oily skin types.
  • Treats scars associated with acne, promoting smoother skin.
• Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3):
  • Stimulates ceramide synthesis, strengthening the skin’s barrier function.
  • Improves the epidermal permeability barrier, enhancing hydration and making the skin soft and supple.
  • Reduces inflammation, redness, and swelling caused by acne.

✔️ Directions for Use: Acne-SM Gel

• Wash the affected area thoroughly and allow it to dry completely.
• Apply a thin, even layer of Acne-SM Gel to the affected area, not just on individual pimples. This prevents the formation of new acne.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after applying the gel.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or other sensitive areas.
• If the gel accidentally comes into contact with your eyes or mouth, rinse immediately with cold water.
