A-CN Gel

A-CN Gel is a topical medication used for the treatment of acne and other skin conditions. It contains two active ingredients: Adapalene, a retinoid that helps to regulate skin cell turnover, and Clindamycin, an antibiotic that works to reduce inflammation and bacterial growth on the skin. Together, these ingredients effectively target acne, helping to prevent breakouts and promote clearer skin.

Uses of A-CN Gel

How A-CN Gel Works

A-CN Gel combines Adapalene and Clindamycin to target the causes of acne. Adapalene, a retinoid, promotes the turnover of skin cells, helping to prevent clogged pores and reduce acne lesions.
