Clinacin Lotion 30ml (Clindamycin Phosphate 1% w/v)
Clinacin Lotion 30ml contains Clindamycin Phosphate 1% w/v — a topical antibiotic formulated as a lotion for the treatment of acne vulgaris across the face, back, chest, and shoulders. Clindamycin phosphate converts to active clindamycin on the skin, where it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and eliminates Cutibacterium acnes — the primary bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne. The lotion format is particularly advantageous for treating body acne on larger or hair-bearing skin areas where a gel is harder to spread uniformly. Prescription required.
