Tretinoin 0.04% + Clindamycin USP 1%

WHAT IS Supatret C TRETINOIN + CLINDAMYCIN PHOSPHATE GEL?
Supatret C Gel, produced by Sun Pharma, combines two potent ingredients: anti-inflammatory Clindamycin Phosphate 1% and retinoid Tretinoin 0.04%. This formulation is prescribed for treating severe nodular acne and pimples in adults and children aged 12 and older. Additionally, it serves anti-aging purposes as a wrinkle remedy. Clindamycin acts as an antibiotic to combat bacteria, while Tretinoin, a form of vitamin A, reduces oil production from skin glands and promotes rapid skin renewal.

Supatret C TRETINOIN + CLINDAMYCIN PHOSPHATE GEL INGREDIENTS

• Tretinoin 0.04%: This active ingredient is effective for acne treatment, helping to alleviate symptoms and reduce acne marks. Tretinoin acts as a powerful exfoliator, speeding up the skin renewal process. It enhances pigmentation by promoting the elimination of melanin in the dermis and increases collagen levels, improving the appearance of fine wrinkles. However, it does not affect deeper wrinkles or ice-pick scars. Tretinoin also enhances overall skin quality.

• Clindamycin 1%: This effective antibacterial agent targets the bacteria responsible for acne. As a topical lincomycin antibiotic, Clindamycin inhibits the synthesis of essential bacterial proteins, thereby halting bacterial growth. It kills sensitive bacteria at various stages of acne and reduces the presence of free fatty acids that irritate the skin. Common side effects may include a burning sensation, irritation at the application site, dry skin, itching, and redness.
