Acne:

Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can result in the formation of various types of lesions on the skin, including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Acne can occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, and other areas of the body where oil glands are present. It is often associated with hormonal changes, genetics, stress, diet, and certain medications. Acne treatment may include topical or oral medications, lifestyle changes, and skincare routines tailored to individual needs.

Pharmacology:

Clindamycin: This bacteriostatic antibiotic targets acne-causing bacteria and prevents their growth. By inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, Clindamycin helps in healing acne lesions and prevents further bacterial infections on the skin.

Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3): Nicotinamide works by stimulating the synthesis of ceramides, which are essential fats present in the skin's outermost layer. This helps improve the skin's barrier function, enhancing its ability to retain moisture and nutrients. Nicotinamide also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne.

Dosage & Administration of Acryd-N-Gel

• Apply Acryd-N-Gel twice a day on the affected area. It's essential to follow this regimen consistently to achieve the best results.
• Before applying the gel, ensure that the affected area is clean and dry. Washing the area thoroughly helps remove dirt, oil, and impurities, preparing the skin for the application of the gel.
• Apply Acryd-N-Gel to the entire affected area, not just on individual acne or pimples. This comprehensive application helps prevent the eruption of new pimples and treats existing ones effectively.
• After applying the gel, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. This helps prevent the transfer of bacteria and ensures personal hygiene.
• Be careful to avoid contact with Acryd-N-Gel with your eyes or mouth. If accidental contact occurs, immediately rinse the affected area with cold water to prevent irritation.
