What Retino AC Gel is and how it works

Retino AC Gel contains clindamycin phosphate 1% + tretinoin 0.025%. Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that targets Cutibacterium acnes (formerly P. acnes) by binding the bacterial 50S ribosome and blocking protein synthesis. Tretinoin is a retinoid that normalises follicular keratinisation, reduces sebum, and accelerates comedone clearance. Combining the two gives faster and more complete clearance of inflammatory acne lesions than either agent alone, while the steric configuration of the gel formulation prevents tretinoin from oxidising the clindamycin. Manufacturer: Johnson & Johnson / Janssen (WHO-GMP certified).

Indicaties

• Moderate-to-severe inflammatory acne vulgaris — papules, pustules, and nodules with comedonal background.
• Mixed comedonal-inflammatory acne where the dual mechanism shortens treatment time.

Hoe aan te vragen

• Cleanse with a gentle non-foaming cleanser; pat dry; wait 10–15 minutes (apply on damp skin amplifies irritation).
• Apply a pea-sized amount once daily at night to entire affected area, not just spots.
• Acclimation: alternate nights for 2 weeks if irritation is significant.
• Avoid eyes, lips, mouth corners, and nasal corners (>5 mm clearance).
• Mandatory SPF 30+ broad-spectrum daily.
• Continue for at least 8–12 weeks before judging response.

Bijwerkingen

• Vaak voorkomend: dryness, peeling, mild burning, transient acne flare in weeks 2–4 (purge), photosensitivity.
• Minder vaak: contact dermatitis, perioral dermatitis if applied close to mouth, mild gastrointestinal upset (rare from topical absorption).
• Zeldzaam: pseudomembranous colitis from systemic clindamycin absorption (very rare with topical use), severe contact allergy.

Contra-indicaties

• Pregnancy (Category C/X for tretinoin component) and breastfeeding.
• History of inflammatory bowel disease (clindamycin contraindication).
• Eczema, severe sunburn, broken skin at application site.
• Known hypersensitivity to clindamycin, lincosamides, or retinoids.

Geneesmiddelinteracties

Avoid concurrent strong topical agents (BPO at the same application — apply at separate times of day; salicylic acid; alpha hydroxy acids). Topical clindamycin has additive risk if combined with neuromuscular blockers (theoretical, with significant systemic absorption only). Avoid concurrent erythromycin (cross-resistance and antagonism in some strains).

Opslag

Store below 25 °C, away from direct light. Keep tube tightly closed.

Veelgestelde vragen

Hoelang duurt het voordat ik resultaten zie?

Inflammatory lesions typically reduce by 30–50% at 4–6 weeks, with full effect by 12 weeks. If no improvement at 12 weeks, escalate to oral antibiotics, oral isotretinoin (severe cases), or hormonal therapy under specialist guidance.

Why does Retino AC Gel include both an antibiotic and a retinoid?

The two attack different parts of the acne pathway — clindamycin kills C. acnes bacteria in pores; tretinoin normalises pore-blocking dead skin and reduces sebum. The combination is more effective than monotherapy, and the retinoid component reduces antibiotic resistance development.

Is Retino AC Gel safe in pregnancy?

No — the tretinoin component is teratogenic (Category C/X). Use effective contraception throughout treatment; stop before conception.

Can I use Retino AC Gel with benzoyl peroxide?

Yes, at separate times — BPO in the morning, Retino AC Gel at night. BPO further reduces antibiotic resistance and treats inflammatory lesions independently.

Why is my skin getting worse after 2 weeks?

Retinoid purge — pre-existing micro-comedones surfacing as visible lesions. Resolves by week 4–6 with continued use. Add a non-comedogenic moisturiser; do not stop unless severe.

Can I shave the affected area?

Yes, but use a sharp blade with mild shaving cream and rinse with cool water. Allow tretinoin to fully absorb (2 hours) before shaving. Stop tretinoin 24 hours before any waxing.

Can I use Retino AC Gel on the chest and back?

Yes — if your acne involves trunk, use a thin layer; this is sometimes called “chest and back” or “torso” acne and the same protocol applies.

Is it normal for my skin to feel waxy/sticky?

A slight residue is normal in the first hour after application and absorbs fully by morning. If persistent, you may be applying too much — reduce to a smaller pea-sized amount.

Should I use Retino AC Gel if I have only mild comedonal acne?

Probably not — for purely comedonal acne (blackheads/whiteheads only, no inflammation), topical retinoid alone (Retino-A, A-Ret, Tretin) is preferred to avoid unnecessary antibiotic exposure.

How does it compare with topical adapalene + BPO?

Adapalene + BPO is a non-antibiotic alternative with similar efficacy and lower resistance risk; it is now first-line for inflammatory acne in most guidelines. Retino AC Gel is reserved when adapalene is unavailable or BPO is poorly tolerated.
