Acnetop

ACNETOP is a medicated topical gel/cream designed to treat mild to moderate acne (pimples, blackheads, whiteheads). It contains antibacterial and keratolytic agents to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent breakouts.

Composition

Active Ingredients (varies by brand):

• Clindamycin (1%) – Antibiotic (kills acne bacteria).

• Nicotinamide (4%) – Reduces inflammation & sebum.

• Zinc Oxide – Soothes skin & controls oil.

• Aloe Vera/Glycolic Acid (in some variants) – Exfoliates dead skin.

Base:

• Alcohol-free, non-comedogenic gel/cream.

(Check label for exact formulation.)

Mechanism of Action

• Clindamycin: Stops Cutibacterium acnes growth.

• Nicotinamide: Calms redness & regulates oil.

• Zinc/Aloe: Heals active acne & prevents scars.

Dosage & Application

1. Wash face with a gentle cleanser, pat dry.

2. Apply pea-sized amount only on acne spots (avoid healthy skin).

3. Use 1–2 times daily (morning/night).

4. Follow with oil-free moisturizer if dryness occurs.

For Best Results:

• Consistent use for 4–8 weeks (acne takes time to heal).
