Details and Features:

Active Ingredients:

• Clindamycin Phosphate 1.2%
  
• Benzoyl Peroxide 5%

Brand: Padagis US

Formulation: Topical gel
Use: Effective treatment for reducing and controlling acne vulgaris
Packaging: Lightweight, convenient tube for ease of application
Benefit: Offers a dual-action approach to managing acne with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties
Quality: Manufactured following stringent industry standards to ensure safety, efficacy, and reliability

Mechanism of Action:

This gel combines two active ingredients for a comprehensive anti-acne action:

Clindamycin Phosphate: An antibiotic that impedes bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis in Propionibacterium acne: the bacteria linked to acne development.
Benzoyl Peroxide: Works as a peeling agent to loosen and remove excess sebum and dead skin cells, opening clogged pores while also delivering an antimicrobial effect that reduces *P. acnes* populations.

This combination is effective not only in treating existing blemishes but also in reducing the risk of further outbreaks by managing the bacterial load and surface oil excess on the skin.

1. Preparation: Clean and dry affected area thoroughly before application.
2. Application: Apply a thin layer of the gel to the entire affected area once daily, typically in the evening, or as directed by a healthcare provider.

• Discontinue use and seek medical attention if severe irritation or allergy develops.
