Product introduction

Apply Clinch Lotion in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Make sure the skin is clean and dry. Spread a thin layer over the affected areas. Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. Use it regularly, even if you don’t see immediate results, as it can take a few weeks to notice improvement. Avoid excessive exposure to the sun and use sunscreen, as Clinch Lotion may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.


The most common side effects of Clinch Lotion are dry skin, skin irritation, diarrhea. These are usually mild and go away as your skin adjusts to the treatment. To reduce irritation, use a gentle moisturizer or consult your doctor if the symptoms become bothersome. If you experience severe reactions, such as a rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop using it and seek medical help immediately.


While using Clinch Lotion, avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin, and keep it away from your eyes, nose, and mouth. Be cautious with other acne treatments, as combining too many products can irritate the skin. If you have a history of digestive problems like colitis, let your doctor know before starting treatment, as Clinch Lotion may increase the risk of certain side effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before using this medicine.

Frequently asked questions

Before using Clinch Lotion, clean and dry the affected area. Gently and thoroughly massage it into the skin. Be careful not to get the medication in your eyes or mouth. If Clinch Lotion gets in your eyes accidentally, wash with plenty of water and call your doctor if your eyes are irritated.
Use Clinch Lotion for as long as your doctor tells you. You may have to use it for several months to clear your acne completely.

Usually, Clinch Lotion should be used for a maximum of 12 weeks. You may need to use more than one tube of Clinch Lotion during each course of treatment.
Clinch Lotion treats and prevents acne by stopping the growth of bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) which causes it. Acne is an extremely common skin condition. During adolescence, grease glands in the skin produce extra grease in response to normal amounts of sex hormones in the body which can cause blocked pores (i.e., blackheads). When this happens, the pores are invaded by bacteria. As a result, certain chemicals are produced which go into deeper parts of the skin to produce red spots filled with pus, called acne.
Clinch Lotion is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Clinch Lotion too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Be careful not to get Clinch Lotion into your eyes or mouth. If you happen to get it in your eyes, rinse off with plenty of water immediately and contact your doctor.
