Introduction
About Treclin Gel
Treclin combines the antibiotic clindamycin with tretinoin, a topical retinoid. Together they help reduce acne-related bacteria and inflammation, normalise skin cell turnover, and ease the build-up of sebum that leads to blackheads, whiteheads and inflamed spots.
It is indicated for acne in adolescents who have reached puberty, and in adults. Apply once daily in the evening. Benefits include easing removal of blackheads and whiteheads, helping prevent new lesions, and reducing inflamed red spots. A clinician reviews your consultation before any supply.

Eligibility
Who Treclin may be for
Treclin can help some adolescents after puberty and adults with acne. A clinician checks age, pregnancy status and skin history first.
May be suitable if
- You are an adult, or an adolescent who has reached puberty, with acne suitable for clindamycin with tretinoin
- You can apply a thin layer once daily in the evening to the whole affected area
- You will use sunscreen and limit sun exposure because tretinoin can increase photosensitivity
- You have answered the consultation questions truthfully
May not be suitable if
- You are allergic to clindamycin, lincomycin, tretinoin or any gel ingredient
- You are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding — retinoids require careful clinical advice
- You have a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis or antibiotic-associated colitis where relevant
- You need urgent face-to-face care for severe acne or a severe skin reaction
A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate. Completing a consultation does not guarantee a prescription.
How it works
How Treclin works
Clindamycin reduces bacteria linked to acne and the inflammation they cause. Tretinoin helps normalise superficial skin cell growth and shedding so sebum is less likely to block follicles and form blackheads, whiteheads and early acne lesions.

-
Cleanse and pat dry
