Supatret C Aqueous Gel (Clindamycin 1% w/w + Tretinoin 0.04% w/w) – 15g tube

About this Medicine

Supatret C Aqueous Gel is a potent prescription topical medication formulated to effectively combat acne vulgaris. This specialized gel delivers a dual-action approach, combining two powerful active ingredients: Clindamycin (1% w/w) and Tretinoin (0.04% w/w). Clindamycin is a topical antibiotic, working to reduce the population of *Cutibacterium acnes* (formerly *Propionibacterium acnes*), the bacteria primarily responsible for inflammatory acne lesions like papules and pustules. By targeting these bacteria, it helps to alleviate redness and inflammation associated with breakouts. Complementing this antibacterial action, Tretinoin, a retinoid (a form of vitamin A), plays a crucial role in normalizing skin cell growth and turnover. It helps to unclog pores by preventing the formation of new comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and promoting the shedding of old skin cells. This exfoliating effect helps to keep pores clear, reducing the likelihood of future breakouts and improving overall skin texture. Designed for application on affected areas such as the face, chest, or back, Supatret C Aqueous Gel offers a comprehensive solution for those struggling with persistent acne. Its unique aqueous base ensures a lighter feel and potentially better tolerability for some skin types. As a prescription-strength medication, it is essential to use Supatret C Aqueous Gel strictly under the guidance of a licensed healthcare professional to ensure safe and effective treatment and to minimize potential side effects. Always discuss your medical history and current medications with your doctor before starting any new treatment.
