Ac-Foe Night Gel

Ac-Foe Night Gel is a combination of two medicines used in the treatment of acne. It minimizes oil production and helps to reduce inflammation. It also kills acne-causing microorganisms and prevents infection. This helps prevent pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads on the skin.

Ac-Foe Night Gel is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medicine. It should not be applied to broken or damaged skin.

Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get it in these areas. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. Do not stop using it as soon as your acne starts to get better. Ask your doctor when you should stop treatment.

Side effects like minor itching, burning, or redness of the skin, and oily skin may be seen in some people. These are usually temporary and resolve on their own. Consult your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.

Inform your doctor if you have any problems with your bowels (intestines) or if you are using any other medicines to treat skin conditions. Consult your doctor about using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Treatment of Acne

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

Ac-Foe Night Gel is a combination of two medicines: Adapalene and Clindamycin, which treat pimples (acne). Adapalene is a form of vitamin A that prevents the accumulation of sebum (skin’s natural oil), unblocks the pores, and allows natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that works by penetrating the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria.

In Treatment of Acne

Ac-Foe Night Gel is a combination medicine that helps treat acne (commonly called pimples) by reducing the production of sebum (a natural substance) that causes acne. This kills acne-causing bacteria and prevents spots or pimples from appearing. It usually takes a few weeks to have a noticeable effect so keep using it even if it appears not to be working. Sometimes acne may get worse before it gets better, however, with proper use, your skin will get clearer. The earlier you start using it, the less likely you are to get scars. This medicine will help improve your mood and uplift your confidence as your skin becomes acne-free. It should not be used if you have eczema or sunburned skin.
