Buy Benzoyl Peroxide 5% / Clindamycin 1% Gel

Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide gel is an anti-acne treatment that combines two powerful ingredients to tackle mild to moderate acne. Clindamycin, an antibiotic, stops acne-causing bacteria from multiplying, whilst benzoyl peroxide works to reduce blackheads and whiteheads and kills off harmful bacteria. 

Together, these ingredients create a comprehensive approach to clearer skin by fighting the root causes of acne, treating existing spots, blackheads and whiteheads, and reducing the number of red, inflamed blemishes on your skin.

Directions

Always use clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide gel exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. Apply the gel once daily in the evening. It may take 2 to 5 weeks to see results. Don't use it for more than 12 weeks without consulting your prescriber.

Start by removing all makeup and washing the affected area with warm water, then gently pat dry before applying a thin film of gel with your fingertips to all acne-prone areas, not just individual spots. 

Use a fingertip amount (from tip to first joint) for your face alone or two and a half fingertips for your face and back—if the gel doesn't rub in easily, you're using too much. If you experience dryness or peeling, reduce frequency or use an oil-free, fragrance-free moisturiser, but try to apply daily for best results.

Always wash your hands after application. Once the gel has dried, you can apply non-greasy makeup if needed.

Side effects

Like all medicines, this gel may cause side effects in some people, but these won’t affect everybody. Common side effects may include:

  • Redness, peeling, dryness
  • Headache
  • Burning, pain, sensitivity to sunlight

Please refer to the patient information leaflet for more information on side effects, including potentially serious side effects.

Warnings

  • Do not use this gel if you’re allergic to benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin or any of the other listed ingredients
  • This gel may bleach fabrics and hair; try to keep it away from any clothes, bedding, towels, furniture or carpets
  • This gel makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so it's important to limit sun exposure and avoid sunbeds or UV lamps whilst using this treatment. Make sure to wear sunscreen and protective clothing when you're outdoors to keep your skin safe
  • If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your prescriber before using this product
