Acnay Gel 10gm is used for treating acne vulgaris and other bacterial skin infections. It contains clindamycin to inhibit bacterial growth and nicotinamide to reduce inflammation and support skin repair, resulting in clearer, healthier skin. It also reduces facial sebum production – the oily substance produced by your skin’s sebaceous glands. Too much sebum can lead to clogged pores, making it an important factor in acne development. Furthermore, this gel improves the function of your skin barrier, which is crucial for maintaining healthy skin.
✅ Uses
- To treat pimples, blackheads, and bacterial infections and excess sebum production on the skin.
How Acnay Gel 10gm Works?
Acnay Gel 10gm contains two active ingredients that work together to manage acne:
- Clindamycin (1%): This antibiotic binds to certain parts of bacteria – specifically, the 50S ribosomal subunit – preventing them from making the proteins they need to survive. This action is particularly effective against a type of bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes, commonly found in oily areas of our skin and involved in the development of acne.
- Nicotinamide (4%): This form of vitamin B3 acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and helps reduce the amount of sebum (oily substance) that your face produces. Additionally, it increases the production of certain protective substances in skin cells that help improve hydration and reinforce your skin’s barrier function. These combined actions make nicotinamide beneficial for managing acne.
