Description

What is Treclin?

Treclin is a topical antibiotic treatment used to reduce the appearance of acne breakouts. 

How does it work?

Treclin contains the active ingredients clindamycin and tretinoin. Clindamycin limits the growth of the bacteria reducing acne and inflammation, while tretinoin normalizes the growth of the superficial skin cells to unclog hair follicles in areas of acne. 

Is Treclin suitable for me?

If you're experiencing acne and are aged 12 years or over, this product may be suitable for you.

Side Effects

All medications can cause potential side effects, below we have listed some potential side effects, however, these do not always occur.

Dosage

Commonly Used Dosage Guidelines for Treclin Gel.

Apply a pea-sized amount of Treclin gel once daily at bedtime.

  • Wash your face gently with mild soap and warm water and pat your skin dry with a towel. 
  • Squeeze a pea-sized amount of gel onto the fingertip. 
  • Dab the gel on your forehead, chin, nose and both cheeks, and then gently spread it evenly over your whole face.
  • Do not use more than the amount that has been suggested by your doctor, or apply the product more frequently
    than instructed. Too much medication may irritate the skin, and will not give faster or better results.

General Information

What is Treclin?

Treclin is a topical gel medication that is used to treat acne vulgaris in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age. It contains two active ingredients, clindamycin, an antibiotic that helps to reduce the bacteria associated with acne, and tretinoin, which promotes skin cell turnover.

How does Treclin work?

Treclin works by combining the actions of its two active ingredients. Clindamycin works by reducing the number of bacteria that cause acne, and tretinoin by increasing the turnover of surface skin cells, thereby aiding in the natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin. Doing so helps prevent the formation of acne lesions.

Dosage & Usage

How to apply Treclin gel

After washing the face with a gentle cleanser, pat the skin dry. Using clean fingertips, apply a pea-sized amount of Treclin gel to the entire face, focusing on areas with acne. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Use Treclin once daily before bedtime unless instructed otherwise by a doctor. It is important not to overuse the gel, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation without improving the acne.

Availability & Pricing

Can I buy Treclin over the counter?

No, Treclin is a prescription-only medicine. A prescription-only medicine is not available for purchase over the counter, as a prescription from a doctor is needed.

Is Treclin available in the UK?

Yes, Treclin is available in the UK. It is a prescription-only medication and is dispensed by a pharmacy with a valid prescription.

Can I get Treclin at the pharmacy?

Yes, Treclin is found at a pharmacy, but one needs a prescription from a healthcare provider.

Treclin gel price

The price of Treclin gel is £30 on Welzo; there is an additional postage cost for delivery to the patient's address.

Treclin gel NHS

Treclin gel is available on the NHS for the treatment of acne vulgaris, subject to certain conditions being met.

Side Effects & Considerations

Treclin side effects

Like all medications, Treclin gel potentially comes with side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects include dry skin, redness, skin burning sensation, skin irritation, and itching. If one notices any severe or persistent side effects, please contact a healthcare provider immediately.

Treclin warnings

Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, nostrils, and other mucous membranes when applying Treclin gel. The gel must not be applied to broken or sunburned skin. Pregnant women, or those planning to become pregnant, must avoid using Treclin gel as tretinoin is potentially harmful to unborn babies.

Alternatives & Related Treatments

Treclin alternatives

There are other treatments available for acne, including other topical gels and creams, oral antibiotics, and in some cases, hormonal therapies. The most suitable alternative depends on the individual's specific symptoms, the severity of their acne, and their overall health.

Treclin vs Finacea gel

Both Treclin and Finacea gel are used in the treatment of acne. However, they contain different active ingredients and work in slightly different ways. Finacea gel contains azelaic acid, which helps to kill the bacteria that cause acne and to renew the skin, but it may not be as effective in severe cases of acne.

Treclin vs Lymecycline and Epiduo Combo

Lymecycline is an antibiotic taken orally, while Epiduo is a topical gel that contains both adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. The combination therapy is effective for some individuals with acne. However, the choice between Treclin and a combination of Lymecycline and Epiduo must be based on an individual's specific condition and the recommendation of a healthcare provider.

Treclin vs Doxycycline and Epiduo Combo

Doxycycline, like Lymecycline, is an oral antibiotic, and it is often used in combination with Epiduo for the treatment of acne. Again, the selection between these treatments must be based on individual health circumstances and professional medical advice.

Treclin vs Zineryt

Zineryt is a topical acne treatment that contains erythromycin, an antibiotic, and zinc, which has healing properties. While both treatments have an antibiotic component, they work in different ways and the best treatment depends on individual skin type and the nature of the acne condition.

FAQs

Is Treclin good for acne scars?

While Treclin is effective in treating acne, it is not specifically indicated for the treatment of acne scars. Tretinoin, one of the active ingredients in Treclin, might help to reduce the appearance of acne scars over time by promoting skin cell turnover, but it is primarily used to prevent and treat acne lesions.

Does Treclin gel bleach?

No, Treclin gel does not have bleaching properties. However, it might cause skin irritation and temporary skin lightening in some people, especially those with darker skin tones.

Treclin gel reviews

Reviews for Treclin gel vary, as the effectiveness depends on individual skin types and the severity of acne. Some users report significant improvements in their acne, while others experience side effects such as skin irritation or dryness. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

Treclin gel benefits

Treclin gel provides several benefits, including reducing the number of acne lesions and preventing new ones from forming. It is known to improve the overall appearance of the skin by promoting skin cell turnover.

Does Treclin gel have anti-aging properties?

Tretinoin, one of the active ingredients in Treclin, is known for its potential anti-aging benefits, including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin texture and tone. However, Treclin is primarily indicated for the treatment of acne.

Treclin gel ingredients

The active substances in Treclin are clindamycin phosphate (equivalent to 1% clindamycin) and tretinoin (0.025%). The other ingredients include glycerol, propylene glycol, and purified water, among others.

Treclin gel before and after

Individual results using Treclin gel vary, but many users report seeing improvements in their acne within a few weeks of consistent use. It is important to note that acne might appear to get worse in the first few weeks of treatment before starting to improve, and it might take up to 12 weeks to see the full benefits of the treatment.
