Buy Treclin online with free consultation & prescription

Treclin gel is a topical acne treatment normally used for the treatment of moderate acne. It works by promoting growth of new skin cells and stopping the build-up of sebum.

Treclin gel contains a combination of two active ingredients. Clindamycin, an antibiotic that attacks bacteria on the skin, and tretinoin, a retinoid that reduces skin cells ability to stick together. This allows dead skin cells to be shed instead of blocking hair follicles. This helps to treat blackheads, whiteheads, papules and redness.

Treclin gel is only available with a prescription. NowPatient offers Treclin gel as a treatment for acne only, following an online consultation with a healthcare professional.
