Clindaben Gel 10g (Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 5%)
Clindaben Gel 10g is a combination acne gel containing Clindamycin Phosphate 1% (antibiotic) and Benzoyl Peroxide 5% (antibacterial/keratolytic) — two clinically proven actives that work synergistically to treat mild to moderate acne. Clindamycin kills Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, while Benzoyl Peroxide oxidises bacterial cells and — critically — prevents antibiotic resistance from developing. This makes Clindaben superior to clindamycin-alone formulations for long-term acne management. Also reduces blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed spots. Apply once daily in the evening. Prescription required.

How To Use
As directed by your dermatologist.
General guidance: Apply once daily in the evening to clean, dry skin. Apply a thin layer to the entire affected area — not just individual spots. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, mouth, and sensitive or irritated skin; rinse with water if accidental contact occurs. Protect skin from sun exposure during use as Benzoyl Peroxide can increase photosensitivity. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning. Use for up to 12 weeks or as directed.
FAQs
Is Clindaben Gel a prescription product?
Yes. It contains Clindamycin Phosphate, a prescription-only topical antibiotic, in Pakistan.
Why does Clindaben contain Benzoyl Peroxide?
Benzoyl Peroxide is added specifically to prevent antibiotic resistance — a common problem with clindamycin-only formulations used long-term. The combination is clinically superior and the current standard of care recommended by dermatology guidelines.
Can Clindaben Gel bleach my clothes or towels?
Yes. Benzoyl Peroxide is a bleaching agent. Avoid contact with coloured fabrics, towels, and pillowcases. Use white or light-coloured fabrics on treated skin areas.
How soon will I see results?
Initial improvement may be seen in 2–5 weeks. Significant results typically require 8–12 weeks of consistent use.
Is Clindaben Gel safe for sensitive skin?
It may cause initial dryness, redness, peeling, and burning. Start with alternate-night application if irritation is significant, then increase to nightly. Use a fragrance-free moisturiser.
Can I use Clindaben with other acne treatments (retinoids, AHAs)?
Avoid using multiple drying or active ingredients simultaneously without dermatologist guidance, as this can cause significant irritation. Your dermatologist will advise on sequencing.
How should I store Clindaben Gel?
Store below 30°C in a dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Do not freeze.
