What is Biacna topical gel used for?
This gel is a topical combo medicine that contains clindamycin phosphate and tretinoin. This drug belongs to lincosamide antibiotics and retinoids to treat acne vulgaris. This medication is only for people over the age of 12.
This medication is available in 1.2/0.025 % concentration.
How does Biacna work?
Bacteria are usually present in the face, specifically in the follicle. When the sebaceous gland is overactive, it produces excessive oil, clogging the area. When your pores become clogged, germs become trapped within and produce fatty acids that can irritate your skin.
This obstruction can cause your follicles to become too stretched. When overstretched, it can burst follicles and become a source of infection. As a result, redness and inflammation manifest as pimples or acne.
Biacna topical gel is composed of two acne-fighting ingredients that work in tandem. Clindamycin phosphate is an antibiotic that aids in the prevention of bacterial growth on the skin. However, Tretinoin promotes the shedding of dead skin or the outer layer of the skin and reduces oil buildup. It also helps by unclogging your pores, eliminating extra oils, and reducing the formation of blackheads which is beneficial for clearing up zits.
