Treclin

What Is Treclin and How Does It Work?

Treclin gel is commonly used to treat acne. It contains a version of vitamin A called tretinoin and an antibiotic called clindamycin. Before we get into how these work, it may be helpful to know outline what happens in acne and what makes it worse. Acne is a skin condition where your pores or follicles get blocked by dead skin and oil (sebum). Sebum is actually naturally made by the body to moisturize and protect the skin. However, when there is too much oil and dead skin, there can be widespread blockage which can cause inflammation or infection by bacteria. This then leads to pimples, whiteheads/blackheads, and pain.

Treclin relieves symptoms and provides dual action treatment to target both the inflammation and the blockage that causes the typical acne symptoms.

Key Benefits of Using Treclin Gel

There are several benefits to using treclin 1 gel, such as:

• dual action: the clindamycin and tretinoin combination allows for a more comprehensive treatment of mild to moderate acne 
• fast action: many people notice improvements within a month
• simple and convenient to use

Who Can Use Treclin for Acne Treatment?

So treclin gel 30g is generally safe for people above the age of 12 years old who have mild to moderate acne. If you have any other medical conditions (e.g skin conditions like eczema) or you are not sure if your acne (e.g cystic acne) will respond to Treclin treatment, please consult a medical professional. This is because there are certain conditions where it may be harmful or ineffective to use Treclin, for example:

• If you are trying to get pregnant or you are pregnant
• If you have an allergy to tretinoin or clindamycin (or related antibiotics)
• If you have skin cancer, eczema, rosacea, or another skin condition
• If you have inflammatory bowel disease
• If you have cystic acne

How to Apply Treclin Correctly

If it is your first time using treclin tube, here is a general guide to help you:

• Use the treclin once a day before bed. 
• Gently clean your face with water and pat it dry. Wash your hands and pat them dry.
• Squeeze some Treclin gel on your finger. For reference this should be the size of a pea.
• Gently apply the gel on the affected parts. This should be a very thin layer. Be careful not to get any of it in your eyes, lips, or nostrils.
• Wash your hands with soap and water.

Make sure you only use a small amount each time. Using more gel or applying it more frequently does not mean your acne will recover quicker. In fact, it may increase your risk of side effects such as skin peeling or acne breakouts. 

Treclin Dosage and Treatment Duration

Generally, in each gram of Treclin gel, there is a standard dose of 1% clindamycin and 0.025% tretinoin. You should only apply a very thin layer each time you use it and the treatment should only last for 12 continuous weeks maximum without monitoring by a doctor. At Medsforless the treclin gel price starts at £39.99.

Possible Side Effects and Precautions

Like all medication, there is a risk that you may experience side effects. Some uncommon side effects include:

• ‘Treclin purge’: for some people when they first use Treclin gel they may experience dry skin, peeling, or even acne breakouts. This is usually temporary (2-6 weeks) and as your body gets used to the medication it should go away. For most people who have experienced a ‘Treclin purge’, their acne and general skin condition improves in the long term.
• Itchiness
• Sensitivity to light

If these do not go away, you should consult a doctor promptly.

Some rare side effects include:

• Feeling like your skin is burning or painful
• Bleeding
• Swelling
• Loss of skin colour
• Headaches and nausea

If any of these occur or you feel concerned about your reaction to Treclin gel, call 111 for advice.

What to Avoid While Using Treclin Gel

When using Treclin gel, it is important to protect your skin from unnecessary irritation. Avoid combining this treatment with harsh exfoliating acids, strong alcohol-based toners, or abrasive scrubs, as these can increase dryness and sensitivity.

Because tretinoin makes the skin more reactive to sunlight, daily SPF protection is essential, and sunbeds should be avoided completely. You should also be cautious with other acne products unless advised by a healthcare professional.

If you have sensitive or eczema-prone skin, it may help to explore additional guidance from the wider range of dermatology treatments available online.
