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.

How Acnovate Gel works

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

FAQs

Q. Can I use Acnovate as a spot treatment (for single pimple)?

It is not a spot treatment and should not be used to treat a single pimple. Acnovate should be applied to the entire face. Using it everyday can treat your acne.

Q. How long does Acnovate take to work?

It may take up to 2-3 weeks before your symptoms improve. Acnovate may take some time to deliver significant results. Use the medicine as directed and let your doctor know if your symptoms do not improve or get worse.

Q. Will Acnovate be more effective if I overuse it?

No, do not overuse Acnovate. It can cause over-absorption of the medicine into the body and cause severe diarrhea. If you are experiencing increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
