Clindoxyl Gel

Clindoxyl Gel is a topical gel that combines Benzoyl Peroxide (5% w/w) and Clindamycin (1% w/w), used primarily to treat acne. This powerful blend targets the root causes of pimples — bacteria, excess oil, and clogged pores. Benzoyl Peroxide helps in exfoliating the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria, while Clindamycin is an antibiotic that reduces inflammation and prevents infection. This dual-action formula makes Clindoxyl Gel highly effective for mild to moderate acne and helps clear skin faster with consistent use.

Uses of Clindoxyl Gel

How Clindoxyl Gel works
