Introduction About ACNETOR AD GEL

ACNETOR AD GEL contains a combination of Adapalene and Clindamycin, which
belongs to the group of medicines called topical retinoids and lincomycin
antibiotics. It is used in the management of skin acne (pimple). Acne is a
condition of the skin when the root of your hair (hair follicle) or skin pores
gets clogged by oil or dead skin, which becomes prone to bacterial infection and
the formation of pimples, blackheads, spots and scars.

Adapalene is a form of vitamin A, that acts as an antiacne agent by binding
directly to the receptor of the skin which increases the rate of cell turnover
(cell regeneration) and decreases oil secretion managing clogging of the hair
follicles and pores, also decreasing swelling/inflammation. Clindamycin works by
binding to the ribosomal unit of the bacteria and disrupts the production of the
protein essential for its survival. Before recommending ACNETOR AD GEL, your
doctor may advise you to have tests to understand your existing condition for
planning effective management methods. Stay well hydrated and protect your skin
