DERIVEX ACNE GEL 15G

DERIVEX ACNE GEL 15G is a powerful topical medication formulated for the effective treatment of acne vulgaris. Each 15-gram tube contains a synergistic combination of Adapalene (0.1% w/w), a synthetic retinoid, and Clindamycin (1% w/w), an antibiotic. Primarily manufactured by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Derivex Acne Gel is a prescription-only product available at licensed pharmacies, including Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika. This gel targets acne through a dual mechanism: Adapalene works by normalizing skin cell turnover, preventing clogged pores, and reducing inflammation, while Clindamycin effectively kills the acne-causing bacteria Cutibacterium acnes. By addressing both the underlying causes and inflammatory symptoms, Derivex Acne Gel helps to reduce blackheads, whiteheads, papules, and pustules, promoting clearer skin. It is applied once daily, typically at night, to the affected skin areas. Due to its retinoid component, users should practice sun protection.
